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. Stop the visine, and use artificial tears one drop 4 times a day. If it is not getting better see an eye md.
