What Causes A Bulge On The White Of My Eye?

We are vacation and my mother in law has a bulge that has appeared on the white of her eye. It is about the size of half of your small finger nail. It appears like therest of the white part of her eye is puffed out across the top her eye. She had glycoma surgery on this eye about a year ago for regulating the pressure they put in a shunt. Will flying her back home be worse than the 20 year drive and can we use compresses? She is 73.
