What Causes A Lump On Iris And Bleeding From Eyes?

I have had a small lump on the corner of my iris for years. Recently I have experienced some bleeding in my eye on two occasions and it appears this lump has increased in size. My eye is not sore nor do I experience any loss of vision. Should I be concerned?

Hello,

It would be very helpful to see the lump you are referring to so I could have a better understanding of what it is and what should be done further.

As for the bleeding in the eye (from the outside), this is a very common finding. We call this subconjunctival hemorrhage, it is a benign event and needs no treatment most of the time.

Because you do not have pain, vision loss or other symptoms, very likely there is nothing to worry but I would suggest that you have a check for the lump in the iris with your doctor to determine its cause and significance.

I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. Let me know if I may assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
