Although some people with pinguecula constantly feel like they have a foreign body in their eye, most are asymptomatic
I have been diagnosed with a pinguecula on the lateral side of my left eye. Pathology results state atypical cells advising excision. What are the risks of this lesion being malignant and are the any recent documented cases.
Surgery to remove the pinguecula or pterygium is advisable when the effect on the cornea causes visual defects or when the thickening is causing excessive and recurrent discomfort or inflammation.
A bubble or bump-like blister on the white of the eye could be a condition called pinguecula. The condition is caused by eye irritation due to dust, wind, or the sun. Mild cases of pinguecula may not require treatment. However, severe cases of this condition, which are bothersome or cause vision problems, should be treated by a doctor.
Most pingueculae and pterygia grow slowly and almost never cause significant damage, so the prognosis is excellent.

The direct object in the phrase "Go away" is "away." It receives the action of the verb "go."

NO because cancer will go away when it wants to go away
An eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) can usually diagnose pingueculae and pterygia by external observation, generally using an instrument called a slit lamp.
