Question 3

eyes test was perfect 20/20 vision. i see black spots flashes and sparks of blue but my eye test was perfect nothing wrong. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Possible migraine: If you are seeing these spots and sparks in a pattern and for some defined period of time (15-30 min) this could be due to migraine visual phenomena.  If it is just a momentary thing then it probably relates to the vitreous gel in one or both eyes getting a bit more liquified.

Question 4

A light reflex: A tiny white light reflex can be seen when a light is shined into the eye.

Question 6

white spot on white of eye?

Accepted Answer

Pingueculum: The most common spot seen on the eye is a whitish to yellowish spot on the nasal or temporal side of the cornea - a normal structure termed a pingueculum.  It is highlighted if the eye gets red.  It is benign and not a problem..  If the eye is persistently red, or the vision is down, or the eye hurts, see your ophthalmologist for evaluation.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

What does: It look like?  Is it red or brown?  Is it flat or elevated?  Is it new or old?

Question 8

there's a gray spot on my eye ball. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It is common.: The most common "grey spots" on the white of the eye are called pingueculae. These grey spots generally are nasal or temporal and are caused by "actinic degeneration"-- changes from being outdoors in the wind and sun. They can become inflamed and can grow onto the clear cornea and become pterygium, which could impact vision and require removal if they get close to the center of the cornea.

Question 9

i had spot in my eye wht can i do?

Accepted Answer

Go to your doctor: This is probably a posterior vitreous detachment.  The gel inside your eyes, vitreous, has partially liquefied & is pulling away from the retina which lines the back of your eye & is a normal with aging.  This causes floaters. The only concern is if it begins to pull on the retina & tears it.  Retinal tears can lead to retinal detachment & blindness. Go to your doctor to be sure.

Question 10

what does white spot back of eye mean?

Accepted Answer

Need more data: A white spot that is in the retina could be normal variant or something serious.  Usually seen on eye exam, and not seen with the naked eye,  get checked by the eye md since you may not have symptoms.
