A small lump of flesh growing inside the eye may be caused by blepharospasm, pterygium and other reasons.
Blepharophimosis is mainly due to ultraviolet light-induced conjunctival degeneration, resulting in the formation of localized bumps. It is usually asymptomatic and does not usually affect the health of the eye, but it may affect the patient’s appearance, and it can be removed by surgical treatment, or can be left untreated if it does not have any effect.
Pterygium is a kind of fibrovascular-like tissue that grows toward the surface of the cornea and connects with the conjunctiva. It usually has no obvious symptoms, and when the pterygium is small and stationary, it usually does not need treatment, and when the lesion is close to the pupil area of the cornea it may affect vision, and then it can be treated with surgery.
It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
