What Causes White Spots On Sclera With Swelling?
Hi i have had a white spot / growth on the white of my eyes
for some years now they are both on the inside towards my tearducts
i went to doctors about 20 years ago and was told they were nothing to worry about but recently the right eye one has become slightly raised and am a bit concerned
regards
Darren

hi dear
most likely what you are talking about is both sided nasal pterygium
my dear this is a subconjunctival degeneration which does not cause any major harm to eye but if it encroaches cornea it may initially cause a change in refractive status of eye that means a change in number
later it may reach your seeing zone
sometimes it irritates in initiall stage also
get it extracted if
1 it irritates
2 interfering with vision
3 progressing fast
4 cosmetic cause
good luck
