Pinguecula: The most common would be a form of sun damage called pinguecula. However, other causes can be allergies called trantas dots, freckles called nevi, and growth of abnormal tissue such as warts called papillomas. The list is long and treatments vary from using artificial tears and wearing dark glasses to topical or systemic medication. Diagnosis would require evaluation by an ophthalmologist.

Pinguecula: Sounds like a pinguecula, which is a deposit/build up on the white part of the eye (sclera) due to uv light and dryness of the eyes. You can use artificial tears, and use a cap and/or sunglasses when outdoors.
