Any ideas what this lump is?

Hey..

Lastnight I noticed a hard lump on my upper eyelid, its at the outside corner and I'm trying to find out what this may be...

It doesnt hurt although it slightly blocking my vision, my eyes have felt really dry for a couple of days and quite itchy although this has now eased.

Update:

Its at the outside corner but when I look underneath there is nothing there, dont think its a sty as I have had one of them before

    I had the same thing on my eye for prolly 6 months, and then one day it got bigger and infected and very painful, so i squeezed on it (also very painful haha and prolly not a good idea) but then it just when away.

    My vote is stye. If you're really that concerned about it go see a Dr. before you try to squeeze it. You don't know how much damage you could do if it's something more serious, and please don't try to pop it with a pin.
