small ball on eye

[sadssudip]

dear doctor,
i am very thankful for your response...
i did as you suggested but it didnt solve it out...i went to different doctors and all of them gave diferent response...everytym i went to opthalmologist they checked the power of my eye and told that the power then had to b increased and i wonder how can the power change so rapidly just within some weeks(they did this many times).....
especially my eyeball pains, the area around my eye socket pains,and occurs occassionally.
dear doctor, i also want to mention that 2 days back,a very small ball type something on the surface of my let eye is troubling, it is paining so much that i cant even open my eye sometimes.....what may it be? doctor my exam is approaching and i havent been able to study.,what may i do?
please suggest me what should i do????? please

It is very hard to say what the bump is without an exam.  If it is red and extremely painful, it could be a condition called scleritis, which is a rare inflammation.  Your glasses prescriptions should not be changing so rapidly.  Diabetes can cause a change in glasses power due to high sugar.  You should have a consultation at a university ophthalmology department.  You need a gonioscopy to check for narrow angles (unlikely at your age); another refraction, perhaps with cycloplegia to relax the eye muscles and obtain a true reading without accommodation; and an evaluation of the eye pain and lump.
