EYE
by MistyBrotherton, Nov 03, 2007 03:00AM
I woke up and had a pain in my eye, so my first thought was to wash my makeup off. While doing that I realized that the white part of my eye was swollen or has a bump on it. Its kinda stretchy loose, almost like skin. When I blink it gets in the way. Its in both of my eyes, but more so in the left. Its hard to explain but basicly what I have came up with is, extra sclera of my eye. Its not real painful, more annoying than anything. What should I do? Will it go away on its own? Is it worth going the ER for?

Your description best fits an inflammed pingueculum which is a small bump caused by chronic sun exposure or contact lens wear.
