A pinguecula is a yellowish, slightly
raised thickening of the conjunctiva
on the white part of the eye (sclera), close to the edge of the cornea.
Pingueculae typically occur on the part of the sclera that is between your
eyelids and therefore exposed to the sun.
In most people, pingueculae cause few
symptoms. But a pinguecula that is irritated might create a feeling that
something is in the eye.
Pinguecula treatment depends on how severe
the symptoms are. Everyone with pingueculae can benefit from sun protection for
their eyes from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Eyes are very sensitive and you should take
care of it. If you feel like there is something wrong in your eyes, immediately
you should take your eye doctor advice and prescribed medicines.
