What Causes White Thread Like Stuff In Eye?

Hi. I am having some trouble with some kind of mucous membrane under my upper eyelid. Every 3 days or so I get this white thread-alike stuff in my eye, and I have to invert the eyelid in order to remove it. 3 times I have removed the membrane im talking about above. Do you have any idea what it is?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I reviewed your history. The white thread like stuff in the eye is usually because of allergic conjunctivitis and this requires treatment by the use of anti-allergic eye drops. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
