Im stuck in the middle of rural asia,, and there are NO vets.
One of the puppies has got an eye infection, it seems hair has gotten into the eye and has caused a hair nest/ cyst to grow in the corner of the eye.
There is no chance for the dog to get medical help, I leave tomorrow ,,,what should I do,, Iv managed to pull some of the hairs out, but am worried to go further. It's a grey lump on the eyeball with hairs growing out of it.

Put a teaspoon of salt in a cup of water that has been boiled, and cooled enough that it won't burn.. Make a compress for his eye by dipping a clean cloth in that normal saline solution. Get the cloth very wet, and hold on his eye for several minutes..it may take up to 20 minutes, for it to soften the clump so that you can safely clean it out..Don't touch his other eye with the same cloth..Clean it again as soon as you see it building up...You can put Vaseline around the eye to protect the surrounding skin.
Without having access to opthalmic antibiotics, that is about all you can do..just keeping it clean in this manner.

Do you have any natural tears? This could help wash any dirt or other particles that could be in the eye.
Try to cover the eye with a warm cloth this could help soothe the eye.Do not rub the eye.
Your puppy could have permanent eye damage.
I can't belive you are going to leave this puppy by its self. I am sure eye is hurting your dog and is in pain.
At least call a Vet and ask them what you can do???
Please get your puppy some help!!!
The puppy has or will have a eye infection. Make sure to cut any other hair around the eye so no more gets in the eye.
Try to keep a closer watch.
The puppy needs a antibiotic oint. This doesn't take a professional to tell you that.
GET THE PUPPY HELP !!!!

First of all keep the puppy relaxed and make sure he eats enough. If he has an infection food and water are important.
The best thing to do is order vet meds online since there are no vets at all where you are. You should be able to reach a pro here... http://www.petcarerx.com/PCareRx/Default.aspx?upi=0&ezid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&company=Google+Free+Shipping&id=1447&gclid=COa6gpCJ5YsCFQM6gQod8EK8OQ
You should be able to ask a vet and get a prescription for the puppy.
~Hope I helped

Sounds like the dog has probably gotten something stuck in the eye from outdoors. It requires veterinary care or will likely loose the eye from infection--and perhaps its life as the infection spreads.

the only thing that you can do is bathe the animals eye with warm water using either tissue or a nother kind of absorbant material, this will clean and sterilize the area and may also loosen the area and help it a little.
ideally the animal needs to see a vet as soon as it can and travelling with the animals will only make it more stressed, the vet will probably give you a course of antibiotics or he may say its much worse, i dont know!
but that dog needs to see a vet ASAP!!!
