yellow lump on white of eye near corena

[sandyabby]

for years I've had a yellow lump growing larger on my eye. The thin skin covering the whole eye is loose and often causes promblems.  Feels like I have somthing in my eye, causing cold to gather around that area.  I now have another yellow spot on the other eye.  What is this and is there any cure for it? The eye dr. said there was a long name for it and I just needed eye drops.  They helped a little but it's stiil there. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Most common thing is a "pinguecula"  Google that term, use the search feature here and use Google Images to pull up pictures to see if its what you have. See an Eye MD find one at www.aao.org
