I cant understand it tho, because it just happened in the middle of a shop... i thought it was an allergic reaction or something... but it has been going on for way too long....

I cant really tell u wat i'm trying to describe... i can hardly see... but it looks as tho the white area has popped out a bit and slid over the coloured area, like its covering it by about half a milimeter

I am a hayfever sufferer, but this does <b>NOT</b> look like hayfever.
Answers:
Two possible explantions come to mind.....the first is a swelling of the conjunctiva which can balloon forward and look rather gelatinous in some allergic/inflammatory situations. This is called chemosis. It can come on rather suddenly. The second is when a wedge shaped portion of the "white part" or conjunctiva/sclera covers the cornea and is know as a pterygium. This does not come on suddenly. So, my feeling is it's option number one and something has gotten into and irritated your eye. See your eye doctor for an evaluation and treatment.
