There is no need to worry much about this, it is extremely common condition of eye. pinguicula is present in almost everyone but size may vary and you will have to worry only if it hampers your vision and increases in size.... to relieve the symptoms Artificial tears are useful which are found OTC.
BTW nice info you have given. :)

Yh.. I really common in Africa and in areas where the high sunshine and dust.. As you said the surgery is very simple and is only indicated when vision and comfort is affected..
Thanks for the reassuring comment, @himal! Maybe it is a lot more common than initially thought, since I actually only noticed it when I was examining my eyes very closely. Perhaps for a lot of people it just goes undetected.
Artificial tears and eyedrops seem to help, indeed.
you are welcome @irime . Its always worrysome when a thing occurs to yourself how insignificant it is. As i was studying about pterygium in my medicine class i first noticed in my eyes but later on found its nothing sort of harmful. But studying about what it is and what is its sequale is always wise.
