Bumps on Eye. Bumps on the eye are often caused by exposure to ultraviolet light or airborne irritants such as dust. Photo Credit Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images. If you've noticed a bump on your eye, take a moment to think about when it first appeared. Your eye doctor will need to know how long you've had the bump, what kinds of daily activities you perform, and whether you did anything out of the ordinary around the time you first noticed the bump.

Definition. Most bumps on the eyelid are styes. A stye is an inflamed oil gland on the edge of your eyelid, where the lash meets the lid. It appears as a red, swollen bump that looks like a pimple. It is often tender to the touch.

• The conjunctiva (a thin layer of tissue covering the front of the eye, except the cornea). Just behind the iris and pupil lies the lens, which helps to focus light on the back of the eye. Most of the eye is filled with a clear gel called the vitreous.

Most chalazia develop farther from the eyelid edge than styes. Although the same treatment used for a stye speeds the healing of a chalazion, the bump may linger for one to several months. If the chalazion remains after several months, your eye doctor may drain it or inject a steroid to facilitate healing. SEE ALSO:

Light projects through the pupil and the lens to the back of the eye. The inside lining of the eye is covered by special light-sensing cells that are collectively called the retina. The retina converts light into electrical impulses. Behind the eye, the optic nerve carries these impulses to the brain.

A stye is caused by staphlococcal bacteria. This bacterium is found in the nose and is transferred easily to the eye when you rub your nose, then your eye. Styes are not normally harmful to vision and generally heal within a few days.

Pinguecula. If the bump on your eye is small and yellow in color, you may have pinguecula. According to the government's Medline Plus website, pinguecula isn't harmful unless the bump grows large enough to obstruct your vision. These bumps are not cancerous and are usually treated with eye drops to give your eye extra moisture.

The eye is a slightly asymmetrical globe, about an inch in diameter. The front part of the eye (the part you see in the mirror) includes: • The iris (the pigmented part). • The cornea (a clear dome over the iris). • The pupil (the black circular opening in the iris that lets light in).
