Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
Welcome to Health care Magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you are having a small moveable painless growth under the skin of the eyebrow.
This can be most likely a dermoid cyst which will be firm in consistency and will be painless. Though the dermoid cyst is more commonly found in younger age they are also seen in elderly age group.
The treatment of the condition is mainly by surgical excision.
If possible do send a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you more accurately.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
