It sounds like you are describing a pinguecula and it is caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. (ie-spending too much time outdoors without wearing sunglasses) We see this more commonly in the southwest region of the USA and for some reason Hispanics tend to develop them more rapidly than caucasians.
There is no form of treatment unless it progresses to a pterygium. As the pterygium grows and gets close to the center of your vision, it can be removed with a surgery. But it's always best to never let it get to this point.
I recommend looking these two things up on Google pictures and you will have motivation to wear sunglasses outside to prevent the pinguecula from converting into a pterygium.

What should you do if you poked yourself fairly hard in the eye with the corner of your laptop and it's a bit red and is it serious?
It should be fine. If your eye seems to keep getting redder then check with your doctor, you could have internal bleeding or a fractured eye, which can cause blindness or scars. It's best to go see a Optometrist and tell him/her what you did. No need to go through your doctor for this. Any bump to the eye area or eyeball itself is extremely important. Sight is everything!
