Pinguecula is a benign growth on the conjunctiva of the eye and typically does not go away on its own. While it may not cause significant problems, it can sometimes lead to irritation or discomfort. Treatment options, such as lubricating eye drops or, in more severe cases, surgical removal, can help alleviate symptoms. However, the growth itself usually remains unless treated.

Yes, pinguecula can be treated, although treatment may not always be necessary if it is not causing symptoms. For those experiencing discomfort, options include lubricating eye drops or anti-inflammatory medications. In more severe cases, surgical removal of the pinguecula may be considered. It is important to consult an eye care professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
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.
