Answer to Calcium Build Up of the Eye

I know from my experience calcium build up behind the eye will cause the eye to be very sore, red, watery and sometimes itchy. It feels like there is something there, depending how much there is. It's basically mountains of stuff that will cause the eye to also be dry. The reason why it waters is because it is trying to get rid of the calcium build up. This usually happens to people who have vision problems (like myself). It can surgically be removed, and it usually takes about a week to heal. Sometimes it can be healed with Polysporin for the Eye, and a fake tear drop called Refresh Luiquidgel or even Teargel. If it doesn't clear up with any of those items, go and see an eye specialist ASAP.
