What could be causing my eye to swell?
Vonita asked...
What causes my left eyeball to swell? My vision also blurs and I get fluid behind my eye at the bridge of my nose. The white of the eye will be folded over the green part. Any ideas of what could be happening?

Eye swelling as you describe could be from an allergy; however, allergies usually do not cause blurred vision and usually do occur in both eyes. A full history and examination would be required to explain the cause of your symptoms and therefore I highly recommend you see an ophthalmologist.
