Is it on your eyelid: ? It could be as simple as a hordeolum. Did you try warm compresses? An eye doctor would certainly be able to diagnose a bump on the outside corner of your eyelid. If it's a bump on your eyeball itself, you definitely need an ophthalmologist to examine you.

Need to see to ID: Your doctor has sent you to an eye doctor to evaluate the abnormality you have close to your eye. It may need removal to identify what it is and as the abnormality is where it is in proximity to your eye, an eye MD with plastic surgery ability for this area would be the best to see. To answer what needs visual and probably tactile evaluation of the mass/lump
