A member asked:

I have a lump on my eye. it is not red and doesn't hurt, but if i touch it too much it starts to become sensitive. it's been there for a while?

Stye: I am going to assume that this lump is on your eyelid and not your eyeball. If so, most probably this is a stye or chalazion is its medical name. Generally these are best treated with hot compresses. When they are unresponsive and have been there awhile they may need to be removed by your eye doctor.
