A pinguecula is a yellow-colored, elevated development that establishes on the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white component of the eye. At Eye Center South, our cornea specialists are experienced in diagnosing and dealing with pinguecula to ensure your eyes continue to be healthy and comfortable.

For people who experience serious signs or aesthetic problems, the elimination of a pinguecula may be recommended. The treatment is carried out under local anesthetic and involves excising the development with accuracy to shield bordering healthy tissue.
