A member asked:

I have a very small ball in the white of my eye, it is not noticeable but does hurt when i touch it with my finger over the skin of the eyelid

Pinguecula: Sounds like a pinguecula, which is a deposit/build up on the white part of the eye (sclera) due to uv light and dryness of the eyes. You can use artificial tears, and use a cap and/or sunglasses when outdoors.
