Inside eyelid bubble ??

Question

..... My eyes lately have been dry but feel fine when im outside, i live in florida so the a.c. is on like 60 all day and outside its humid... i love it. Anyways i woke up this morning and it felt like i have something in my eye ..... there was nothing there that i know of and my eye was not red or anything, if there was it got pushed out. When i looked at my eye again i pulled back my eyelid and i seen a very small little blister or bubble ( its about the size of the end of a ball point pen)... it doesnt hurt or anything so i dont think its a stye. Its on the inside of my eyelid.... does anyone know what this is. Should i have it looked at ..... it doesnt really bother me i would have never even seen it if i didnt have something in my eye...

That could be a chalazion.  But a sty is still the best guess, they aren't always painful at first. Use a warm cloth on it for awhile and it should rupture and begin to heal.  It could be a clogged tear duct. If this is the case take a cloth and soak it in warm water and apply a few times throughout the day. If it gets any worse I would recommend seeing a doctor. It's probably a stye. Put warm teabags on it. Or warm washcloths. It should, over time go away. But it could take awhile. You could have your doctor look at it but most likely, with time, it'll go away. If not, you can have it lasered it let the fluid out. With out seeing it, it is hard to say.  

For chalazion. You could try looking that up. It may go away on its own. It's in the right place and right color to be a sty, but the fact that it does not hurt might mean a chalazion, which is sometimes confused with a sty. A chalazion is an inflammation of the eyelid gland (meibomian gland) which is just an oil gland, so it is close to a pimple. Chalazions tend to occur on the upper lid.

A chalazion is a lot like a zit. An oil gland in your eyelid (called the "meibomian gland" or "tarsal gland") gets blocked, filled with oil, ruptures, and becomes inflamed.

Warm compresses are typically adequate to manage these (for sties, as well). Obviously, keep your dirty fingers away from your eyes, and keep your face clean.

As with any health problem, if home remedies don't bring about improvement, see your physician. He/she may refer you to an ophthalmologist. An optometrist is perfectly capable of handling the problem.
