Flecks of Color04/13/2008 07:13PM |
I have just noticed that I have several dark flecks of color in my right eye. My eye color is blue so they stand out. but i recently had an eye exam and the eye doctor didn`t even bring them up. Should I worry? Are flecks like this normal. Also is there a difference between having freckles on your eye and having scattered flecks of color?
Most likely the dark flecks of color in the eye are tiny freckles of the iris. Freckles for the most part are benign; however, they do have the potential to become malignant.
The best advice I can give you is to discuss your concerns with your eye care specialist. At the start of every examination, talk with your doctor about any changes that you have noticed; this way you ensure that your concerns are addressed during the examination.
Best of luck to you.
