What Are Pterygium & Pinguecula?
- Pterygium is a benign, wedge-shaped growth of tissue on the white of the eye that may extend onto the cornea. Often linked to UV exposure or irritation, it can cause redness, discomfort, and, if left untreated, affect your vision.
- Pinguecula are small, yellowish bumps on the conjunctiva near the cornea. While typically harmless, they can become inflamed or cosmetically concerning.
