What are the bumps at the corners of the eyes?

  Bumps at the corners of the eyes are a type of eyelid swelling that is very common in everyday life. Some common conditions include lid cysts, mydriasis, lipomas, lid adenocarcinoma, etc. There are also some eyelid swellings whose nature and cause are unclear.  Lid cysts can occur anywhere on the eyelid, but they are very common in the inner and outer corners of the eye and are caused by obstruction of the lid gland, which is related to the individual’s body type and lifestyle habits. Macroglossia occurs in a similar location to a lid cyst, but macroglossia is caused by inflammation and is due to the presence of infectious agents. Blepharoplasty also occurs in the inner and outer corners of the eyes, mostly in middle-aged and older adults, and this population often has a history of recurrent blepharoplasty cysts. Bumps in the corner of the eye can also occur in people who have had trauma to the eyelid, where the wound heals poorly after laceration and suturing. Another common condition is a dermatomal cyst or epidermoid cyst that protrudes from the skin when it is large enough to be palpable as a hard nodule at the corner of the eye.  As mentioned above, bumps at the corners of the eyes can be caused by a variety of reasons, commonly due to trauma or diseases of the eye itself.
