Anyone had little lumps they cannot get rid of come up on eye rim? Is this a meno thing.

I had it a few years ago - pre the whole meno stage.  Mine was blocked tear ducts which which then got infected - a course of anti-biotic eye cream cleared it up though.  Might be worth getting it checked just to be on the safe side.

Are they tiny clear lumps and feel like grains of sand on the lids
OK if they are get a bit of loo paper screw it to a point and touch them they will burst clear water
I had them on and off for years from a mid 20 year old I use above then put antihistamine drops in my eye
