Pinguecula

Understanding Pinguecula: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Extended exposure to environmental irritants such as sunlight, wind, and dust most commonly causes the formation of pingueculas around the cornea's edge. People who spend a lot of time outside without using proper eye protection are more likely to develop this illness.
Pinguecula is normally innocuous; however, it can cause irritation.  In some circumstances, inflammation can arise, which is known as pingueculitis.
Treatment for pinguecula often focuses on symptom relief. Artificial tears can alleviate dryness, while anti-inflammatory eye medications can help reduce redness and inflammation. Wearing UV-protective sunglasses and safety goggles in dusty or windy circumstances can help avoid development or advancement.
Surgical removal is rarely required; however, it may be considered for cosmetic purposes or if the growth interferes with vision. Regular eye exams are vital for detecting and treating any potential issues.
Pinguecula acts as a reminder of the significance of shielding your eyes from environmental hazards in order to maintain long-term ocular health.
