The bump in the corner of the eye is called a pinguecula. It is scar tissue from years of exposure to sun, dust and wind. It usually has a yellowish color to it. It can become red and inflammed sometimes. It can also feel dry on top of it causing a sandy foreign body sensation in the eye. An inflammed pinguecula can be treated with drops. It is recommended you use sunglasses outside.
