Plica: The plica semilunaris is a fold of bulbar conjunctiva on the medial aspect of your eye or the canthus. This is likely some type of conjunctivitis. Initial treatment would be a warm compress. Your dad may need and antibiotic. Sometimes this can be a sign of a problem with the nasolacrimal duct and that would need care by an eye doctor.
