Eyeball pimple?

Anyone ever get a bump on the white part of their eye? and if so, does it just go away? or do i need to get medication for it?

Get some castor oil and put it in your eye. A drop several times a day. Cayce store sells castor oil drops for $2 plus
shipping. 1-866-812-8778. Or get a eye dropper and put some in.

Hi, Ray.

This thing is called a phenyctenulum and is thought to be caused by excessive exposure to sunlight and "perhaps" insufficient vitamin A. Look it up. I also think information about this has been archived in the eye archives.

It can be easily stripped off by an ophthalmologist but in most cases is nothing to worry about except cosmetic.

Let us know what you learn.

Walt

I seem to get these if I have very dry eyes or allergies going on.
