conjuctive is loose

[hazelkathryn]

My conjunctiva is slightly loose in my right eye on the outer edge. I noticed it when I thought I might have had some "sleep" in my eye, but when I wiped it away it moved and I saw the outer clear layer was loose.
    Is this something to worry about or will it heal? Other than that, there is no pain or inflamation.
Thank you ahead of time....Hazelkathryn

You are welcome.  However given how roundly the Texas Longhorns beat my Missouri Tigers it wasn't a good weekend.

its always loose. However if its swollen due to allergy infection drying irritation it swells and looks like a blister its called chemosis. Try cool compresses and Ophthcon A or Zaditor OTC drops.
