    Chemosis
    `Chemosis` is the swelling (or edema) of the conjunctiva. It is usually caused by allergies or viral infections, as well as eye rubbing. Chemosis accompanied by facial edema may also occur as a result of superior vena cava obstruction. Exophthalmos, a sign of hyperthyroidism, can be associated with chemosis, periorbital puffiness, lid retraction, lid lag and proptosis. Treatment depends on the cause of the chemosis.
