Why would it produce clear fluid under that superficial eye layer?

This happened to me just a few hours ago. How is the affected eye now? What did you do about it? Thanks!

Well, i just left it alone - it went down like it was a rash... but on my eye. I still worry about it, and am regretfully sorry no one answered me here when I was freaking out. =\ Disappointed in the eHealth forum.

I did exactly the same thing...nothing but i thought of things like calling the doctor and tearing the sac-like thing to let out the fluid...thank God i didn't do such things. I went to sleep and the day after it was better. still has little fluid and redness but it's gone now. Posting this so if anyone would look for answers...at least they won't freak out like us.

Calling the doc is one thing, going to the ER is another incase something is lodged in there. Tearing the sac just gives a high chance of infection. It's either go to the doc, ER, rinse and leave alone, or hope you're not going to keel over.

This happened to me last night the bubble was so big I couldnt close my eye and the entire white of my eye was filled with fluid ..I was asleep and woke up with an ichy eye then woke up to find my eye like this I rinced it out with drops went back to bed. Its morning and still irritated but the bubble is gone but now feels like I have extra skin in my eye.. Very strange I have no Idea what is happening..

I had very irritated eyes which I assumed were due to allergies and had a bubble under the sclera of one eye. The only information I could find suggested using eye drops for allergies as a means of getting rid of the bubble. All those drops did was make my eye more irritated and the bubble did not go away. After about a week I decided to try drops for 'dry eyes' and not only did the irritation stop by the evening but the bubble went down to half its size. It was gone by morning and my eyes feel great. I am still using the drops whenever my eyes feel irritated. I hope this will help someone else with this 'bubble' problem. It's kind of scary to find this in your eye and no real help to be found on the internet!!

I didn't really have any fluids. This just happened to me. I think there is some sort of wrinkles on my sclera. It looks weird. It's red where the wrinkle is. I wear contact lenses. So, I don't know if it's because of that or lately the wind has been really strong. And by the way people are commenting, I am guessing that it's probably the wind. Is it?

yingchuk - I am concerned that you are a contact lens wearer and are having that wrinkle problem on your sclera plus the redness. It could be a combo of allergies, wind and irritation from the contacts. Can you take your contacts out for a few days and wear glasses? Perhaps, if you do this, you could try the 'dry eyes' drops and see if they help the irritation and the wrinkling. If that doesn't help, I would consult your eye specialist. The rest of us had actual 'bubbles' with fluid in them in our eyes so your problem is not the same. Hope this helps. Stromberg
