<\/span>Symptoms of Puffy Eyes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPuffy eyes can occur due to many reasons, as stated above. You can say that you have swelling by looking at your eye. If you notice swelling in your upper or lower eyelid or beneath your eyes, it means that you have puffy eyes. Eye puffiness occurs when there\u2019s a fluid build-up in the surrounding tissues of the eye. Eye puffing usually resolves on its own in a day or two, and if it doesn\u2019t, it can indicate that you have a serious problem and should consult a doctor<\/a><\/strong>1<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>
