it seems i have a little soar on the inside of my lower right eyelid as of yesterday. this morning it`s pretty swollen. I had my humira on friday and just started using mj sat. i have no past history of and eye soars/ or inflammation issues and wondering if there could be a correlation. the mj has drastically improved my condition and really hope its not the cause.
 
Marijuana has a tendency to dry the mucosa, which is one of its side effect. Dried eyes is very common, so you probably scratched them inadvertently during the night because they itched due to their dryness.

The fix is simple: buy artificial tears at the pharmacy and keep those dreamy eyes hydrated with a drop or two in each eye as soon as you feel an itching or dryness.

Don't worry, this is nothing serious.

Bonus tip: re-hydrating the eyes with drops will make the puffy redness go away. If you are at home and medicated and the mailman shows up, you might not want to answer the door with your eyes like this because it would give you away to the mailman. 2 drops, blink a few times to spread the liquid around the eye and the color will return to normal. ;)
 
it`s a stye or chalazion, not sure which the ophthalmologist said. either way he did say its an infected oil gland on the inside of the lid. toberdex drops/ and oint plus oral amoxicillan. everything else has still been exceptional. wonder if the dry eye made me more prone then i would have been or if i just happened to rub it or something. he said it can just happen.
