Pinguecula: Probably pinguecula. If they are on the sides next tithe cornea that's what they are. They are benign. If you are concerned, a trip to your local eye doctor can clarify things.

The inner sclera of my eye has a yellow/orange tint to it. However, its only visible when I pull back my eyelids to examine it. If Im looking directly at myself in the mirror, my sclera looks white. Should I be concerned about this?
