Yellowish spot in eye

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hi, recently I spotted yellowish skin/spots in my eye which is known as pinguecula (found in internet). I have it in both my eyes. It is not painful but gets inflamed and irritates and eye becomes red when water is splashed in the eye. Now, its everyday that its visible in both sides of the pupil and iris. Please suggest if any kind of treatment is required.

Hello Ma'am ..A picture would have helped to confirm whether it's actually Pinguecula you are talking about. Pinguecula is a common issue and usually occurs because of UV rays and more in people who work mostly outdoors but can affect anyone. Always use UV protective sunglasses whenever out in Sun , follow proper working pattern for laptop/ computer/ mobile and keep eyes in moisturized state by using Lubricant Eyedrops.

Next Steps

Start with Eyedrops Maxmoist 1 drop 3 times a day for both eyes for 30 days.
