When these cells are injured, they cannot regenerate, and fluid will accumulate in the cornea, resulting in swelling (edema) of the cornea and progressive clouding of vision. Corneal edema can sometimes develop after eye surgery, especially after cataract surgery. Abnormal swelling of the cornea is more likely to occur in people 50 years of age and older. Early symptoms of corneal edema might include blurred vision or haloes, often in the early morning.

Certainly abdominal cancers, especially liver cancer, could cause edema. Prostate cancer should be ruled out as well, although this would be a less likely cause of your edema.
