Can psoriasis form underneath the inner eyelid?

[rocky14235]

According to two ophthalmologists, I have small bumps underneath my left lower eyelid.  One opthalmologist thinks its related to my psoriasis.  The bumps dont hurt and so far, it is not effecting my eye sight.  However, it is slightly infected.  The antibiotics took away the infection but I still have the bumps.  I am very concerned because I am undergoing a myomectomy soon and need my eyes to be 100% in good health for the anesthesia.  According to the anesthesiologist, if infection still persists, I may wake up blind.  SO I have a couple of questions:

1. Can psoriasis form underneath the eyelid?
2. Will I wake up blind from these bumps?  
3. Is a steroid necessary?  (the ophthamologist that thinks its psoriasis, doesn't want to put me on a steroid because of the potential increase of intra-ocular pressure. The myomectomy will be cancelled if my pressure is elevated)
4. What else can be potentially causing these bumps?

Yes, the answer is still no.    If that were at all common would they still use it?  
Of course not.

Thank you!  I will mention the plugged oil glands to my ophthalmologist next week at my follow up appointment.

Dr hagan,

I just found out that I will be in the Trendelenburg position for 4 hours during my laparoscopic myomectomy. It had been proven that this position raises intraocular pressure, which can lead to blindness. Therefore im not sure if your answer to #2 is accurate. Do you know any information about this?
