Because of their benign nature, pingueculae rarely require treatment. Occasionally, the growth may become inflamed, causing irritation and dryness. The doctor may prescribe artificial tears for lubrication and mild anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling.

This phenomenom of neo-vascular growth in the nasal canthus of the eye is thought, in part, due to pollution. As the growth extends up to the cornea, if it crosses over, then may obstruct clear vision. There are some types of eyedrops, but as I recall, a lazer can be used to destroy this thin layer of tissue. In the hands of a trained ophthalmologist, you might seek advice for treatment
