Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a flesh colored growth in the eye. This indicates pterygium which indicates age related degenerative condition of the conjunctiva.
The treatment is in the form of pterygium excision and it is indicated if the pterygium is progressive encroaching the cornea and affecting the vision or in case of recurrent inflammations of the pterygium.
Since you does not seem to be having these problems no need to worry just follow up may be sufficient.
Thank you
