Name This Part of the Eye, Please

Eye

I've looked at a couple pages of pics from a google search and have yet to find a name for the mass of tissue that's in the inner corner of our eyes. Anyone know what it's called?


Reason I ask: I was diagnosed Monday with Blapheritis (do a google search to get the scoop on this common condition). I started feeling a "poking" sensation in my eye out of nowhere, so I'm questioning the diagnosis. Anway, I think it's one of the hairs on this mound of tissue.

I'm trying to do some googling on the topic before I call my doctor tomorrow, but it's hard when I don't know the name of the tissue. Anyone have any ideas?
