Clear Bubble on white part of the Eye?

[tea103]

What does it mean to have a clear- like bubble on the white part of the eye and what causes it?
I look up everything but couldn't find the right explanation because is not those red bumps/blisters that pops up on the eye lid

Dear teal03,

Sometimes, allergies can cause the appearance of “bubble” of the white part of the eye.  Try to reduce swelling by use of cold compresses and avoiding scratching of the eyelids.
