What Causes Eye Dryness With Crinkling?

Dear Doctor Myer, I was looking in the mirror at my right eye last night because it felt very dry. I touched the outside corner with my finger and lightly rubbed the white part of my eye. When I rubbed across it the tissue looked like it was crinkling up ... I thought I had left a contact in my eye... that is what it looked like. After a closer like by my sisters there is no contact just clear tissue that can be move. I can see fine it just feels dry. Help
