A pinguecula is a yellowish growth that forms on the conjunctiva, usually on either side of the cornea. Pingueculae are thought to be caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, wind, and dust and are common among people who spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, particularly in very sunny environments.
