Question

I have the strange spotch on the white part of my eye thatis whiter than the reat of it and it is slightly raised. it doesn't hurt but i can feel it on my eye lid. when i looked at in a magnifiying mirror it looked like a fried egg(only all white).

does anyone know what this could possibly be?

or better yet a site with pictures and info on common things found on the eye?

Answer 1

It is most likely a pinguecula and is common and non-harmful and comes from exposure to the sun.

Answer 3

have you always had it.  never heard or seen anything like it. maybe as an opthamologist.

It could be what's called a pterygium. It's a harmless growth that is common and easily removed with an outpatient procedure that is done in an ophthalmologist's office.
