Eyeball bump: A bump on the eyeball itself it is quite rare, and needs to be evaluated. Common bumps on the eyelids are styes. Causes for a bump on the eyeball itself is chronic irritation of the membrane over the eyeball, which can thicken and/or get some particle stuck in it. Bleeding beneath the membrane (subconjunctival hemorrhage) is common from minor trauma, but flattens out by pressure from the membrane.
