Swelling on eyelids?

The last two months have been a slight swelling in my left eyelids. I don't feel any pain here. I have no vision problem yet.

Classic Chalazion
This is a chalazion, often referred to as a stye. Try using warm compresses and gentle massage 3-4x/day. It should resolve without treatment. If it does not go away in 2-3 weeks, or if you have pain, redness, or change in vision, then see an ophthalmologist.
Hope this helps you.

This is most likely an internal stye, or chalazion. However, a mass should always be checked by a physician. See an ophthalmologist. SO
Lumps and bumps that don't go away need to be checked by a real ophthalmologist. Not your regular doctor, and not an optometrist.
