The treatment of Pinguecula
Pinguecula is a rare disease
We usually do not need treatment unless there is inflammation or irritation or discomfort in the eye that can be treated with artificial tears and short-term anti-inflammatory drugs.
Surgery for Pinguecula does not lead to complications and the duration of treatment is short, about 3 to 4 weeks.
