Pinguecula is made of fat deposition on the ocular surface commonly seen in people exposed to sun exposure or outdoor environment. Systane drops might not remove it, but it will definitely help in resolving any foreign body sensation or irritation because of the same.

Hi..
Pinguecula is harmless, but will not go . No intervention required.
If becomes red, can be treated .
If cosmetically very bothering, can be excised.
Wear sunglasses with UV protection.
