Yes, RahRah, I've mainly had this issue when my cornea has been inflamed (keratitis), as the eyelids can swell in reaction to the inflammation of the eye's surface.

@A MyLupusTeam Member I have Covid so that might be why I am experiencing this too. Thanks

Hello. Visit your ophthalmologist for a prescription or diagnosis. It’s really easy for your eyes to become inflamed or there could be an infection. I use Restasis drops regularly and that helps. Talk to your doctor. Best wishes.

Yes, RahRah I too have had this happen in the past and not really realized that it was Lupus. I have pictures that have one lid swollen and I did not know why and I never checked it out. This happened to me in 2017. It also took away or dimished my hearing and I did not know Lupus could do that. Take care
