my mom noticed a small bump on her left eyeball under the top eyelid, it is defintely on the eyeball, she said it is a little sore to the touch, and other than chronic dry eyes she hasnt noticed anything different other than has a hard time opening that eye in the morning after she first wakes up, I am very concerned and have insisted she goes to the opthomologist tomorrow, i just was curious what this could be...just need my mind to be at ease...thank you so much
Dr,
Should I still be worried about the lump on the eyeball? Its still there...
Hi,
I went and saw a ophthalmologist and the Dr checked the pressure in m eyes, LHS 14 and RHS15 and says thats good. He then put a drop of Antistetick to may my eyes numb and also something else to make my puples dialated. Took about 15mins and my eyes went blurry. He then used a torch to look inside my eyes and check the veins? says their okay too. He said dont worry about the lump?
That depends on your insurance plan.

Hi,
Will I need a referral to see a ophthalmologist? It fells like its on the eyeball, but I can only feel it on the eyelid if I close my eye.
Do you mean eyelid? It is probably a chalazion. See an ophthalmologist. Find one on AAO.org
