A pinguecula is a common, benign growth that appears as a small, yellowish or whitish raised area on the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye. It typically forms on the side of the eye closest to the nose and is associated with chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, wind, dust, or dry conditions. Pingueculae are composed of thickened conjunctival tissue and may cause symptoms such as dryness, irritation, redness, or a feeling of a foreign body in the eye, though many cases are asymptomatic. While a pinguecula does not usually affect vision, it can become inflamed (a condition known as pingueculitis). Protective eyewear and minimizing environmental exposure can help reduce the risk of development or progression
