Relax and don't assume the worse. But of course, you should definitely make an appointment with your eye doctor and have it checked out. Always better to be on the safe side!

Do you have parents? Do you go to the doctor once a year like you are supposed to? HMMM? Show your parents and tell them you're concerns. Only a Doctor will be able to tell you anything. It could be just a simple infection...but if you don't tell your parents and get the simple easy eye drops to cure it, it will infect your whole eye, and then you will be blinded perhaps. TELL YOUR PARENTS!!!!

You're way too young to be concerned about cataracts. Just keep an eye on it, & also...pay attention to your vision to see if it changes at all.
Ask your folks when you're seeing the Doctor next, and when you go...ask about this on your eye.
But, I wouldn't be concerned unless your vision is getting impaired.

Probably a 'stye' in your eye. Suggest you use and old wives method: bathe with a tea bag.

I wouldn't get crazy over it. If it starts to get painful, go to the doc.
