Hi, wonder if anyone can help, I have small lumps on the whites of my eyes, in the corners, they don't seem to be causing me any problems at the moment, just a bit unsightly, anyone know what they are, I'm 72 years of age

    Hi Bigr1, I had my eye test 3 days ago and I asked about mine as I have one on the white of my left eye. I was told it was sun damage but. Othing to worry about although I do suffer badly with dry eyes and I was told it's difficult to keep it lubricated so may sting from time to time .

    I have also just checked if this is. Orrery and the internet confirms this. Says it's caused by uv rays or wind and dust and can cause dry, gritty eyes. Xx
