What to do if you have a raised bump on your eye?

A raised bump in the eye is usually seen as a blepharospasm or pterygium. Blepharophimosis is a physiologic phenomenon, so it is more common in the normal population and usually presents as a white or yellowish-white lumpy bump in the inner corner of the eye, but it rarely crosses the corneal limbus, so this disorder does not require treatment and premature surgical intervention is not recommended. The second type is pterygium, which is caused by conjunctival degeneration and manifests as abnormal proliferation of the conjunctiva in the inner and outer corners of the eye. As the condition worsens, it can invade the cornea and lead to corneal astigmatism, causing vision loss. Therefore, if the growth is large, surgery and treatment can be considered. The more common surgical procedure is pterygium excision combined with autologous corneal limbal stem cell transplantation.
