Just yesterday I noticed something rubbing against my contact lense. So I thought something was in my eye maybe an Eyelash or pice of dirt. So I took my contact out and I still felt it. After having someone look in my eye they said there was a white bump up under my top eyelid. I took a picture of it I'm trying to figure out what it might be. I don't see my Doctor till a couple days.

    It could be a blocked and infected gland in your eyelid.   One of the tiny glands that produce the oily ingredient of tears. You could try hot compresses.

    I agree with Marian Dee.  I have a problem with glands and have two white bumps.  I have a bigger problem with Chalazions.  I keep using the hot compresses.  Be persistent.  I am going to try taking Flaxseed oil next.
