Answer 5

This is probably what's called a sty. It's a minor infection that some people get when they don't take off eye makeup, or rub their eyes and bacteria infects your eyelid. It's usually found a cm from your tear duct, sensitive to touch. It's just a minor infection, and make sure you wash your hands before you touch it, or try not touching it at all. Just wash your face regularly also and you should be fine. Good luck!

sty

Answer 7

It may be a stye--is it right below the tear duct?

Answer 9

I have one on the top of my eyeball i can only feel through my eyelid. My vision is fine and iv had it for over months now. I asked the doctor about it and he said unless it grew it would be fine. If it is causing you a lot of distress then go see your doctor. However it could just be a cyst. Which means it will probably go in a few days x

Answer 10

If it's on eyebrow or eyeline the it's a sty, I've had loads, just bathe it in

warm water.

Answer 11

If its on your eye lid it is probably a sty.. if it doesn't go away go to the doctor, i've had to have one surgically removed when i was little.. if it is like a clear thing on your eye it might be a lymph-node blockage. I have one of those a few months ago, just used drops. Try making tea and putting the bag on you eye lid while its still hot, it makes it feel better. :)

good luck!

p.s. you might want to get rid of your eye make up and stop using it in case it is bacterial

Answer 12

It is most likely a stye, those hurt and need to be treated. Something i haven't seen mentioned is simple irritation that can cause Small bumps that cause tearing, itching, redness and just a small amount of pain. If you wear contacts take them out either way, if not just be sure to get to an eye doctor, your eyes arent something you want to risk.
