What Causes Cyst In The Sclera Of An Eye?

I've felt like there was something poking my right eye since yesterday. Today I looked in the mirror to see if it was an eyelash, since they get in my eye all the time, but I found this clear bubble-like thing that almost looks like a small piece of plastic in the white of my eye. I tried to get it out with a wet paper towel but it just hurt and wouldn't move. My mom scheduled an appointment with my eye doctor, but I would really like to hae an idea of what it could be before I go. Thanks so much :)

it is not possible to diagnose by seeing in a mirror. show it to a eye doctor who if required can remove it. do not try to remove it
