I have a bump on my eye and I think it it on my left eye lid and it moves with my eye and I wear contacts and glasses but today I got it when I had my contacts. What should I do and what is it? Is it anything serious or is it normal and it goes away with no pain?

Since you wear contacts, you should call your eye doctor. A bump or scratch on your actual coulees have been caused by your contact.

Are you sure the bump is in your eye, or is it on the eyelid? The bump would not move with your eye, although it might feel like it does, if it is in the skin or eyelid and not on your actual eye itself.

If it is in the eyelid underneath or on top, it could be a stye that goes away on it's own after a day or two. If it worsens today or does not improve, call your doctor tomorrow and ask. I would not mess around with wonder if it has to do with your eyes, and you wear contacts!
