Pinguecula is a yellowish, benign growth on the conjunctiva of the eye, typically caused by sun exposure, dryness, or irritation. While it does not usually go away on its own, it is generally harmless and often requires no treatment unless it causes discomfort. In some cases, lubricating eye drops can alleviate symptoms, and surgical removal is an option if the pinguecula becomes bothersome. Regular eye protection, such as sunglasses, can help prevent further development.
