Hello,
Do not keep touching your eyes and maintain good hygiene. The sensation you're describing, like a feeling of something floating inside the eye and noticing a fine muscle-like structure extending from the inner canthus (corner of the eye) to the eyeball on the sclera, needs medical evaluation. Get clinically examined by an eye Specialist. Your affected eye needs a comprehensive eye exam to help clarify the exact cause of your symptoms and to provide appropriate treatment.
Such symptoms commonly occur due to eye conditions like Pterygium or Pinguecula or conjunctival cyst. You will be given conservative treatment or surgery may be recommended if needed. In the meantime, avoid irritants like wind, dust or harsh sunlight. For relieve you can apply artificial eye tear drops.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
