    Just wondering ... for a growing but painless lump on the inside of my lower eyelid, which does not affect my vision, would an optician or GP be the first port of call? Just don't want to be going to the wrong professional and wasting their time ... thanks!

    GP as they can refer you to ophthalmologist directly if required.

    Some GPs are qualified to remove this.
