I'm Nikhil and I'm from Bangalore. I'm 28 and I've developed this swollen bump on my upper eyelid on the right side. It's a bit itchy and I feel some pain, especially towards the edge. I've attached a photo for context. Could you help me figure out what this might be and what I should do to get rid of it?

Question

I'm having some trouble with my eyes lately. I've been using contact lenses, and over the last couple of days, my right eye has been hurting, especially when I blink or touch the area under it. This morning, I noticed the area was a bit swollen, kind of like a puffy eye bag, but after I applied a warm compress, it seemed to get better. There's no visible bump or stye, just slight redness. What do you think I should do about the pain?

I'm struggling with my eyesight since my eye number is minus 5 and 5.5, and everything's blurry without my glasses. I'm really considering surgery because I don't want to wear specs anymore. Can you let me know how much the total fees are for such an eye operation?
