I noticed this lump in my eye and its painful for a week and a half. I also keep getting blurry vision at times.

    Hi,

    I am not a doctor, but this looks exactly like my lacrymal cyst, ( which, by the way took several different doctors visits, before I got a diagnosis!) Talk about frustrating!! One doctor wanted me to go for an MRI, which, I didn't, thank goodness!

    Anyway, bet that's what it is, and I was told the only way to rid it, was surgery. This wasn't an option for me, so I've been treating it with organic apple cider vinegar. This is not for the faint of heart, as it stings like crazy, but it has kept the swelling down. What I do, is take a qtip dip it in the vinegar, run it under water to dilute, and gently rub on cyst. I do this daily, and I can honestly say, it hasn't bothered me much. It only swelled up once or twice since, and that was when I didn't get enough sleep the night before.

    Best of luck!
