Small White Fold In Lower Corner Of Eye. What Could This Be?
As I was putting my eye makeup on this morning, I noticed what I would describe as a small white fold in the lower outside corner of my left eye. It feels like something may be in the eye, but it's just that "fold." Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having small white fold in the corner of the eye. The commonest cause for this appearance is degenerative conditions of the conjunctiva like pterygium. Pterygium is because of degenerative condition of the pterygium and presents as fold slowly encroaching the cornea.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
