Take antihistamines like Benadryl to lessen the allergic reaction, but be sure to take them at night because you can get really drowsy after taking them. Puffy, swollen eyes are the effect of your hypersensitivity reaction. You may also avoid the allergen to prevent your onset of allergic reaction. But be sure to consult the doctor first.
Wear shades if you really want a simple remedy.

Over-the-counter Claritin could work. This is approved for Nasal and Non-nasal allergic symptoms and used to be prescription only.
If that's not enough go to the GP doctor and ask for an ocular drop for allergies. If you're symptomatic at the visit you won't have a problem getting a prescription.

I have used cucumber slices or cold tea bags, just apply to your eyes for a few minutes, make sure the tea bags are wet and cold. also if you wear makeup put a white eyeshadow under your eyes and blend in with your makeup to hide the puffiness. hope this helps

I know you'll think I'm crazy for even putting this in here, but I saw it for myself on t.v. and read it, that top models use Preparation H for that. Makes sense 'cause it brings down or eliminates swelling, but I would be real careful not to get it directly into your eyes. Under the eyes and over but not too close to the eye itself. Ask around to find out if this true about the models, but it wasn't denied or contradicted in that article or on tv.

I continually use Piriton syrup for my hayfever, even though it truly works on any hypersensitive reactions. (also accessible in pills, and there is benedryl-extra sensible i imagine) And as pronounced previously, soaking a flannel or something in chilly water and putting it over your eyes can assist too.

Run a washcloth under cold water and press gently onto your eyes.

Try placing cold used tea bags on your eyes.

A cold compress or ice packs have worked for me
