That's called the conjunctiva of the eye. A lump could be an infection or a tiny ulceration. Needs to be looked at by a nurse or doc. Keep your hands out of your face and wash them often.

it's correct medical term is the canal of Schlemm. it's primary function is to help water flow out of the eye.
not sure what the white lump on it is w/out looking at it. could be that it just became irritated.
although it's not bothering you-i would make an appt to see your dr within the next couple of days to have it checked-sooner if it starts to irritate you or obstruct your vision

The area of which you speak is the inner canthus of the eye.

Your tear duct? Probably it's clogged.
