Pinguecula is a common, benign, yellowish or white raised growth, that forms on the conjunctiva. It is generally harmless, and often caused by UV light, dry conditions, wind, and dust and rarely requires treatment.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include:
*A yellow spot or bump on the white of your eye
*Dry, itchy, burning eyes, or feeling like sand or grit is stuck in your eye
*Blurry vision
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, if you have had a pinguecula before, here are some ways to help avoid them:
*Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV light
*Protect your eyes from dust by wearing glasses or goggles
*Use artificial tears when your eyes are dry

The cornea is a clear, curved surface that covers and protects the eye. It is one of the most sensitive tissues in the human body. It has no blood vessels, no color, no visibility and yet nearly all vision depends on it. The cornea accounts for most of the eye's optical power before light reaches the lens by bending light as it enters the eye.
The cornea is highly protective; it forms a physical barrier against dust, bacteria, and debris, shielding deeper structures from harm. Embedded inside of it are thousands of nerve endings. This sensitivity allows for instant detection of danger - grain of sand, foreign object, or sudden touch - triggering reflexes before damage occurs. The cornea heals quickly and carefully. It depends on tears and surrounding fluids for oxygen and nutrients. Blinking keeps it healthy, dryness compromises it, and neglect clouds it. The cornea does not interpret vision - it prepares light so seeing at all is possible.
