Question 1

i have lump on my eyeball under my uper left eye lid. what cause this be?

Accepted Answer

A few things: If this was preceeded by a mild inflammation or pain in that area now gone, then it is most likely a cystic formation called a chalazion.  This can be ignored or removed if a cosmetic problem.  If it is inflammed, or growing or on the surface of the eyeball itself, then it needs evaluation by your ophthalmologist.

Question 2

small bump on left eye lid  can it be removed with surgery tried hot compress didn't work?

Accepted Answer

Maybe stye : It is due to inflammation ( infection ) the glands under the lid , you tried hot compress , now it is time to get it drained by eye surgeon, a simple operation done in the office.

Question 3

i just noticed a very tiny bump under my left eye lid. no pain, no protrusion. but my eyes are dry and irritable. what could this be? who should i see

Accepted Answer

Blocked gland: You could have blockage in one of the many tiny glands in our eyelids that produce mucus. If it concerns you or if it gets bigger or  becomes painful, you should see an ophthalmologist.

Question 5

left eye is flickering most of the time near upper eye lid.

Accepted Answer

Tic or nerve: This is usually due to a nerve firing off involuntarily and make the lid "jump".  Should go away in 4-7 days but if not, have an eye doctor take a look at it.

Question 6

please explain why does my left eye lid keep twitching?

Accepted Answer

Eyelid twitch: For most young healthy people, an eyelid may twitch for hours or sometimes days and then go away, and geneally it is nothing to worry about.  You may need more rest, less coffee, or an evaluation if it is causing your eye to close or causing pain, but usually these (blepharospasms) just show up and then go away without any clear cause or concerns.

Question 7

i;ve noticed that the eyelashes on my right eye lid are not as sensitive as the lashes on my left eye lid. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Eyelash sensitivity: I'd start with a nightly warm wet compress of the lids on both sides, and maybe some gentle cleaning of the lashes with a few drops of diluted baby shampoo to see if that helps.  If not, or if there is a bump or ulcer, or bleeding or lash loss that is new, you should see an ophthalmologist for further evaluation.

Question 8

the left eye lid sometimes gets red, swollen, and itchy and there's also a little dry patch too...it comes and goes as well, what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Blepharitis: Sounds like chronic blepharitis, allergy and possible secondary bacterial infection,  meibomian gland disease, oily eye lashes, could be molluscum contagiosum. You need lid hygiene, warm compresses, artificial tears, allergy drops, antibiotic drops and a visit to your local medical eye care specialist/ Ophthalmologist for confirmation and treatment.

Question 9

sensation of something in eye and itchy eyes. got like a brown mark which i can see if i pull my left eye lid up it is on the white of my eye?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Sounds uncomfortable!  Was the brown mark there before?  Many people have small birthmarks in the white part of their eyes, which aren't worrisome.  Itchy eyes and a feeling of grit in the eyes could be many things - allergies, small foreign particles, small cuts on the eye surface, etc. I'm not sure the brown spot is related if it is in the same place and doesn't move.

Question 10

beauty marks appeared in the summer no change in them wondering if it was because of the sun and that i have dry skin. also noticed a tiny brown freckle underneath my left eye lid?

Accepted Answer

Time for skin check: Schedule an appointment with a doctor specializing in the skin known as a Dermatologist. They can do a full body skin examination and address your individual concerns. Remember to wear Sun screen all year round
