Suggest Treatment To Remove Yellow Circle Inside Eye

I am 18 years old and in the white part of my eye I have what appears to be a vein that turns into a big yellow circle that stretches to almost meet the iris. I have had it for almost 3 years and I want to know if there is a way to get rid of it, preferably without surgery, perhaps whittening drops.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a yellow circle inside white part of the eye.
This can be degenerative condition of conjunctiva called as pinguecula.
The treatment is by surgical excision.
However you can use decongestant eye drops to make it less prominent.

Thank you
