Question
Tonight I noticed my left eye felt like there was an eyelash in it, while looking in the mirror I noticed a clear small bump resembling a small clear blister on my left eyeball located to the left of the pupil about a 1/4 inch (in the white area), there is a little pain when I blink but other than that it's just irritating and my eye is getting bloodshot.
Any idea's or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to review this.

Dear John,
This could be just a mild allergic reaction wherein the transparent 'skin' of the eye separates, making it appear like an air bubble.
This is usually self limiting and resolves on its own.
You may use some lubricating eye drops whch are avaialbe over-the -counter and safe to use for symptomatic relief.
if this does not settle in 2-3 days time, you may visit a local optometrist as some prescription eye drops may thenbe needed
Hoe this heps,
