What Causes Cyst On White Of Eye?

I have a jellylike cyst on the outside white part of my left eyeball. That part of my eye is tender when I close my eyelid and roll the eyeball around or when I gently press on it through my eyelid. I stopped wearing my contacts, but the bump isn't going away. What is this?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a cystic nodular lesion on white part of the eye.
This can be a inflammatory or degenerative condition of conjunctiva like pterygium, pinguecula or inflammatory conditions of episclera or sclers like scleritis or episcleritis.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
