Explanation:

This appears to be a pinguecula, which is often caused by UV - light exposure. Protecting the eyes from UVB rays can help prevent progression or recurrence. Artificial tear drops are usually not contraindicated, spontaneous bleeding is not typical, and Visine may not be the best long - term management.

C. UVB eye protection is especially important.
