Growing purple vein in my left eye

[Thea10]

Yesterday my left eye had this red vein in the corner of my eye that when i look to the right it is really seen and i thought that it would go away so i just slept off. But when i wake up my left eye felt heavy and its watery. And then the corner of my upper eyelid has this bump on it. It is from the inside. I am scared because im only 14 and im with my grandmother that doesnt believe that i should see a doctor. Today, the vein is purple and it seems like its getting longer and closer to my iris please help me i dont know what to do

There is no way i can tell what the problem is. If the bump is getting bigger, or is tender or red then it should be evaluated by a physician or optometrist.  The vein on the eye is not as much of a problem generally as the bump on the lid.  If the bump is getting worse ask your GM or parents again.
