Pinguecula, plural: pingueculae.

Quite common in anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors, not just in tropical or sub-tropical countries.
(possibly now also in anyone with long term exposure to too-dry air fro air-conditioning units!)

Harmless, and rarely requiring (cosmetic) surgery, it needs to be distinguished from the rarer but still common condition of pterygium which can cause visual problems and require intervention.

Are you talking about a calcium deposit? If not I don't know.
