What Does A Brownish Line In Eye Indicate?
Hello doc. Firstly I'd like you to excuse my ignorance on the matter. I just googled "anatomy of the eye" and I'm gonna try and use the image provided to aid my explanation of my "eye problem"
Okay. So between my "lacrimal papilla ; punctum lacrimale" and "semilunar fold of conjuctiva" (or somewhere in that region) I have this Brownish line between the above mentioned areas of my eye.. And its kinda Sore when I stare at something and feels awkward when I blink.
If its of any relevance I've been using my cellphone a lot this weekend (mostly for watching movies.. Rarely texting. )And I've played video games today for atleast 5-6 hours(continuously)
I'm not sure if its strain or an infection.. My email address is YYYY@YYYY awaiting your urgent response
Kind regards
Shane

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a brownish line along the bulbar conjunctiva.
This indicates conjunctival pigmentation and may not be significant as it can be a conjunctival nevus.
Most of them remain stationary and may not progress and hence no treatment is generally required.
If you can send a photo of the involved eye I can confirm the diagnosis for you.
Thank you
