Will yellow fatty tissue in eye go back white?

The yellow color in your eye is likely caused by a condition known as pinguecula. A pinguecula is a small, raised, yellowish bump that grows on the white part of the eye (sclera), usually near the corner. Pingueculae are caused by a buildup of protein and fat deposits under the conjunctiva, the clear layer that covers the white of the eye.

Pingueculae are usually harmless and do not require treatment. However, if the pinguecula becomes irritated or inflamed, it can be treated with lubricating eye drops or artificial tears. In rare cases, a pinguecula may need to be removed surgically.

In most cases, pingueculae do not go away on their own. However, there are some things you can do to help prevent them from becoming larger or more noticeable:

* Wear sunglasses. Sunglasses can help to protect your eyes from the sun, which can help to reduce the risk of developing pingueculae.

* Avoid smoking. Smoking can increase the risk of developing pingueculae.

* Drink plenty of fluids. Drinking plenty of fluids can help to keep your eyes hydrated and reduce the risk of developing pingueculae.

* Eat a healthy diet. Eating a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables can help to improve your overall health and reduce your risk of developing pingueculae.

If you have any concerns about a yellow bump in your eye, it is important to see an eye doctor to get a diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
