welt like looking bubble on white of my eye

[swellshell68]

I noticed a a small raised area on white of my eye that looks kinda like a welt or bubble. I attempted to move it with wet q-tip thinking it was mucuos but it does not move. What is it. I had an eye exam a 2 weeks ago where they blow air in your eye, and Eye doc did not say anything about it.

I had this recently, too.  Had never seen anything like it.  Mine itched as well as felt uncomfortable from the bubble rubbing against the inside of the eyelid.  Don't know what it is, but I tried using Zyrtec eye drops and it has cleared up entirely.  "Regular" eyedrops had no effect.

Good Luck!

The air tonometer will not cause this. Call up the Eye doc that examined you and ask the question of him/her
