Is Pinguecula Contagious

It`s more common than a pterygium, will not affect your vision, and is generally harmless. A pinguecula is usually in one corner of the eye, near the nose. You can have a pinguecula in one eye or both. The condition is non-contagious.

Is pinguecula an infection?

A pinguecula is a benign, or noncancerous, growth that develops on your eye. These growths are called pingueculae when there are more than one of them. These growths occur on the conjunctiva, which is the thin layer of tissue that covers the white part of your eye.

Does pinguecula last forever?

Pinguecula is not considered to be a serious condition. There is usually no pain or discomfort in most cases, and people can live day-to-day life without any treatment needed.
