Understanding Pinguecula and Its Elimination

A pinguecula is a yellowish, raised development that develops on the conjunctiva, the clear cells covering the white part of the eye. These non-cancerous growths are usually triggered by extended direct exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, wind, and dirt, making them more typical in people that spend considerable time outdoors. While generally harmless, a pinguecula can cause discomfort, dry skin, and swelling, and even affect your vision if it grows too big or comes to be inflamed. At Eye Center South, our cornea experts are experienced in detecting and treating pinguecula to ensure your eyes remain healthy and comfortable.

For people that experience extreme signs and symptoms or aesthetic concerns, the elimination of a pinguecula may be advised. The treatment is performed under neighborhood anesthetic and includes excising the development with precision to secure surrounding healthy and balanced cells.
