A pinguecula is a yellowish, elevated development that develops on the conjunctiva, the clear cells covering the white component of the eye. At Eye Facility South, our cornea professionals are experienced in identifying and treating pinguecula to ensure your eyes continue to be healthy and balanced and comfortable.

For individuals that experience extreme signs and symptoms or aesthetic issues, the removal of a pinguecula might be advised. The treatment is carried out under local anesthetic and includes excising the growth with accuracy to safeguard surrounding healthy tissue.
