Creamy pigmentation in eyes either side of iris what can cause this?

Pinguecula : You are most likely seeing a pinguecula. These are thought to be caused by ultraviolet light exposure. They are nothing to worry about. When the same process gets more aggressive and starts to invade the cornea, we call it a Pterygium. Sometimes, these require surgery. Your ophthalmologist can tell you for sure with just a quick look.
