I have an eye problem

I seem to have a bubble on my right eye. It is really irritating and causing redness.  I try not to touch it but it's really hard. It sometimes appears on either side of my the eyeball. It looks like a little sac or a air bubble but it does not contain any liquid. It causes discomfort but does not affect my vision. It is just that when  look side to side it feels like something is in the way. I looked up conjunctival cyst and pterygium but it does not seem to match it. At first I ignored it cause it goes a way after time but then it came back. I probably need my eyes checked out but I need some advice for the mean time to help my problem.

Could be a conjuctival cyst or a large inflamed pingueculum or pterygium.  That's my best guess and I know you "looked it up" but sometimes you just have to see it to diagnose or treat it.  So make an appointment with ophthalmologist as soon as possible.  In the meantime, I'm not sure much will help.  Protect eyes with sunglasses, use lubricating artificial tears every hour or so.  Consider trying decongestant eye drop like naphcon A.  Basically you need to see an ophthalmologist asap.
