Pinguecula Research

Pinguecula
Today I had the opportunityty to research the eye condition pinguecula. This condition changes the tissue on the eye and results in a deposit of protein and fat in the conjunctiva. This can be caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays. Pinguecula can be diagnosed by a careful clinical examination. Their is no treatment for this condition. However, if the deposit becomes overly annoying it can be surgically removed. I am super glad I was able to learn about this eye condition today!
