Bumps on the Eye: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and When to See a Doctor

Symptoms to Watch For

Symptoms can vary depending on the cause, but common signs include:

• Swelling or redness around the eye
• Pain or tenderness (especially with a stye)
• A visible lump on the eyelid
• Watery eyes or mild irritation
• Sensitivity to light

If the bump grows rapidly, becomes extremely painful, or affects your vision, it’s important to take it seriously.
