Lump in my eye?

Question

I just noticed that it hurt a bit to blink like I had something in my eye, so I got a mirror to check it and there's a little lump in the my eyelid on the top lashes, sort of on the inside. it feels like a bit of grit.

is this a stye or something else? and i looked it up and apparently they go away in about a week, but my friend said she had a stye and she had a lump in her eye for months.

anyway help please if you can x

Answer 1

Jess, you may have a blocked gland. .

Heat is a great way to help the gland release its contents AND keep all the other glands clear.

Try pressing a clean hot flannel against the affected eye for 60 seconds. Do this twice a day for a few days. If it doesn't help go see your doctor.

Also see your doctor or optometrist if you have increased swelling, pain, redness, itching or blur (though these are all unlikely to happen)

Answer 2

You probably should go see an eye doctor or maybe your regular family doctor just to be on the safe side.

Answer 3

is it a little white bump?....if so, it's a sty (I may have spelled it wrong). It will go away in a day or two...but in the mean time it will feel like you have something in your eye---nothing to worry about, just a pain in the *** (eye)

Answer 4

Its just a little syst it will go away but if it doesnt in a month go see the dr.!!!
