What Causes Fluid Pocket Under The Eyelid?

I have had a pocket of fluid in the corner going over the top under my eyelid. I've had it for years, but I've only just come to think maybe it's serious? I'm wondering if I have glaucoma? Where the eye fluid draining has been blocked and caused the pocked? I have a lot of ache on the eye this morning, which caused me to look it up. I've been to a doctor before and she didn't know what it was.
