What is a Pinguecula vs Pterygium? Learn what causes these conditions and how they are treated!
Ever looked in the mirror and wondered “what is the yellow spot on my eye”? If you have noticed a yellow spot on your eye, there is a chance it could be a pinguecula. A pinguecula is a small, yellow or sometimes pink growth on the white part of the eye. Pinguecula symptoms include irritation and dryness feelings on the eye but are mostly asymptomatic unless aggravated. Sometimes a pinguecula can become inflamed and is termed a pingueculitis. When Pingueucula treatment is required, doctors will often prescribe topical steroid eye drops to help with inflammation, otherwise prevention or conservative treatment with UV light protecting sunglasses and lubrication eye drops are recommended.
A pterygium is similar in that it is also a growth on the eye but often grows over the cornea. A Ptergyium is often called a surfer’s eye because they often develop on the eyes of beachgoers and people who spend time on the ocean. A pterygium is often progressive and may require surgical treatment because Pterygiums often induce irregular astigmatism. Symptoms of a pterygium include irritation, eye redness, and blurred vision. Pterygium treatment is often conservative to prevent progression but often requires surgery to remove it. Prevention of pterygium often also includes using UV light protection sunglasses and artificial tears.
If you think you have a pinguecula or a pterygium, I hope you find this video helpful and informative. Thank you for watching!

I'm being monitored for Glaucoma and have just been upgraded to a Glaucoma Suspect, which I believe means I haven't got Glaucoma but have the right conditions for it. UK.

By chance I discovered my Pinguecula is getting smaller and the redness is going away when I use organic castor oil eyelash serum. I’ve been putting it on my eyelids at night and any time I’m not leaving my home. Many people claim that castor oil is a anti-inflammatory and reduces lumps and cysts in the body, others claim there is no proof. 🤷‍♀️ I will continue to use this since I am seeing great results. It also helps with lubrication in the eye area.

The oft. here, which is the only one, said that i cannot get surgery and gave me a lubricant with hialuronasa?, but i felt my eyes kept asking for more each 30 min, the gel one, sometimes make me feel dry after hours :)

I had a pterygium when I was a kid. Went to many doctors and lots of different drops tried. Not sure what they contained, but it eventually went away.

My dad has perfect vision, never in his life has he needed glasses, and have never had eye complaints or issues, like 2 or 3 months ago, he started seeing a shadow in his right eye, and it happened for like a week, until he realized it wasn't going aways, well, his retina was detached, he had to get urgent surgery, 2 more days and I guess he could've lost all his eye, idk how it works, that's what they said, and also on his checks up like 2 weeks after, his left eye retina was going to detach as well, and they caught that one on time, it didn't cause any damage like in his other eye, now, he just sees like a water drop that the ophthalmologist told him it was normal from something they put in there, but he still doesn't need glasses, the ophthalmologist also explain that the retina detachment can happen to anyone, bc as we get older there is like a type of gel like in our eyes but it starts to dry out as we age

@martincogley278 Жыл бұрын

I recently had to start wearing an RGP contact lens in my left eye to try to correct stromal scarring following an ulcer. I was wearing it every day for about six weeks and one morning I fitted the lens and had a severely painful sensation in the eye which meant I had to remove it straight away. I attended my eye care provider and was told to stop using the RGP contact lens and they would make an appointment to see the contact lens clinic (hospital dept) for a review of the use of the lens. I did notice a pinguecula on the nasal side of the eye and I suspect that it's this that caused the pain, I had never noticed the pinguecula previously. the hospital suggested using eye drops (Hylo forte) regularly, which I have been doing for about 4 weeks. I am waiting for an appointment but would was wondering if the hospital are likely to now move me onto a scleral lens. Any thoughts?? Thank you so much

Good to know! Why does sunlight/UV affect the white part of the eye in this case and not the lens directly? Also I wonder why does uv cause red blood vessels to grow in the eye?

sunlight enlarges the blood vessels, so perhaps too much of it breaks them completely (Im not a doc, just guessing)
