How An Itchy Eye Be Treated?
Hi, I had an itchy eye about an hour so ago. Thought it was an eyelash so tried to blink it out but to no avail. I went to check in the mirror and saw the outer white of the eye swollen with what looks like a translucent film. When I turn the other direction and look through that corner, the outer white of the eye slightly compresses and looks like it might fold like a jelly. There is also pressure felt. I freaked out and flushed the eye with some saline drops. It seems to have helped the itch a little, but the outer eye still has what looks like a film over it. Just the white of the outer part of the eye. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
It could be a pterygium which is a mass which grows on the eye or it could be a mucopurulent discharge. You need a slit lamp evaluation for both.
