What Causes A Bump In The Corner Of My Eye?
Hi, i have a bump in the corner of my eye and it has been there for as long as i can remember.. It doesn t cause me any pain and I already have a terrible eyesight so i either wear contacts or glasses but the bump in the corner of me eye seems to not go away. I believe it has moved and gotten smaller within time but it doesn t hurt at all do you know what it might be?

hello and welcome to HCM,
A clinical assessment is required to know the probable nature of the bump.
Painless bumps in the eye can be due to papilloma, dermoid, etc.
If the bump is on the eye-lid it can be due to sweat gland enlargement.
Management can be planned after clinical assessment only.
Bumps of this nature require surgical excision.
Thanks and take care
