What Causes Air Bubble In Eyeball?
Question: WHAT CAUSES AN AIRBUBLE IN YOUR ACTUAL EYEBALL LINING? IT'S ON THE LEFT EYE, UNDER LOWER LID, THE SIZE OF AN APPLE SEED. THERE IS NO PAIN.
Brief Answer:
Allergic conjunctivitis
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns.
You are concerned about a bubble under the conjunctiva of the left eye. This is a reaction caused by allergies to the eye. The bubble is actually a collection of fluid under the conjunctiva. This is a very common occurrence and is not something to be overly worried about. In my practice I usually treat this with topical eye drops for allergies. There are some over the counter eye drops. I will also use patanol or optivar which are prescription medications for allergic conjunctivitis.
Hope this answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your medical concerns and questions
