I cannot get rid of this eyelash from my eye? [Picture included]

Does this look like an eyelash to you? I had a surgery twenty years ago so maybe it's a thread? Or is it an eyelash?

I cannot remove it using fingers, nor q-tip, nor water, and sleep doesn't naturally get rid of it. It's been days since I've noticed this. It seems to be stuck or inside the lacrimal fold of the eye. Do you think so too?

That should be so easy to take it off; with water splashes. Dont use q-tip or fingers. 

Don't mess with your eyes, they are precious & you only have one pair, go & see your GP or if you have a walk in eye clinic, go there.

It does look like an eyelash.

Good luck.
