It is an allergic reaction to something. You have to figure out what.
I had this. I went to the eye doctor for it, the water bag was so large and horrible looking.
It took 2 visits before the eye doc figured out it was allergy. Then, she gave me some allergy cream to put on it and it helped.
And, once I figured out the cause, I stopped it and that took care of the problem permanently.

I hope you can find out what's causing your eyes to become puffy. I've experienced this, too, at times. Warm, wet compresses (soft washcloth soaked in warm water) every few hours help soothe my eyes when they get swollen like that.
