Oh, I do have a significant ‘pocket’/’bubble’ aka swollen under eye patch that chronically exists below my left eye. So swollen that I can actually see it in front of myself (in a lower peripheral type manner)without aid of a mirror. Stabbing pains in eyes too – dry eye?

Boy, it’s really hard to say without looking, but if the bubble is clear, it may be a harmless (and unrelated) lymphangectasia. That is an annoying, but harmless, collecting of lymph fluid. I have tried everything I know to drain those, and to try to keep them from recurring. They have always come back. Ugh. But as far as “things to worry about”, that is ONE thing you can pretty safely put in the “it’s OK” category. Yea!! One thing in that category! 😉 Hang in, my friend. ;)Diana
