3.dry left eye. 
4.blurred vision left eye. 
5.stabbing pain behind left eye.

Accepted Answer

Ophthalmologist: Your eye symptoms warrant an examination by an ophthalmologist. Floaters are often benign and a nuisance,but showers of them can be serious. I'm concerned about left eye pain and visual disturbance.

Question 2

what are common causes of a dark spot on a light blue/ green iris?

Accepted Answer

Freckle: Iris nevi, or moles and freckles, are the most common cause of a dark spot on the colored part of the eye.  However if this is new, it should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist.

Question 3

over the past few days i have noticed a dark small spot on my iris. what is this and is this cancerous? it is round and symmetrical.

Accepted Answer

Iris nevus: Just have your eye doctor check it out for you, and noted on your medical record. So that it can be watched and monitored. It should be no problem for them to do so. Good catch!

Question 4

20yo guy.dark brown eyes.a small black spot in on iris.last eye checkup was 5-6 mnths ago. seems slightly raised.vision=ok.pupil=ok concerns:melanoma?

Accepted Answer

"OK" to be concerned: Iris nevi should be periodically assessed for growth as should any pigmented skin lesions. At your age melanoma iris risk is low. If pigment spot is significant i would recommend careful anterior segment photography to allow comparison over time. Iris melanoma's when they do occur are usually of the lowest grade of malignancy ; thus have a favorable prognosis if surgery is ever indicated.

Question 5

i just noticed a dark black spot on iris of left eye, i too have twitching stabbing pain (not irritation )  and vertical double vision, rainbow halos, dark spot us like line connecting boundary of cornea and pupil, is it melanoma??

Accepted Answer

Eye doctor can help: Eye problems require special exams with special instruments. A patient can help his primary care doctor and eye doctor by first writing down on a calendar diary some descriptions of his symptoms, when they started, what their severities are, how long they last, what makes them better, what makes them worse, etc..., and show the diary to his doctors.

Question 6

what shall i do to vanish the dark eye spots.?

Accepted Answer

Shiners: You may have allergic shiners that are causing your dark spots. Consult your dovtor or an allergist for help.

Question 7

what would be  an eye disorder in which a person sees dark spots in front of him?

Accepted Answer

Vitreous debris: The floating debris seen in the central or peripheral vision is actually composed of collagen fibers that are breakdown products of the vitreous. These spots float in and out of the visual field. If the spots are stationary and constant they may be associated with a retinal problem's, migraine syndromes or scotomas ( visual defects) from optic nerve problems. Your ophthalmologist can help you.

Question 8

please let me know if there is an eye disorder in which a person sees dark spots in front of him?

Accepted Answer

Vitreous detachment: You may be experiencing a posterior vitreous detachment. This is when the fluid/gel in the back of the eye separates from the retina. This is a natural aging process that can be exacerbated by trauma or surgery. Patients will complain of floaters (dark spots, spider webs etc) with or without flashes of light. If you are having new dark spots ; visual changes you should see your eye doctor for exam.

Question 9

my right eye has dark spots and long silver circular images appearing when i woke up. it's almost like my lense is trying to catch with the other.

Accepted Answer

Spots: I would think this is most likely "floaters' or particulate matter floating in the vitreous of you eye.  Retinal problem possible, but most people describe "flashing light" symptoms.  Some type of lens problem also possible.  See an eye specialist.

Question 10

my 5 year old has dark spots in the white of her eye they seem to be grey and blackish color and round.what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Spots: Spots may be nevi or birth marks. They are benign and do not impede vision.
