A member asked:

There is a little white dot on my cornea, what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Corneal scar: In the absence of any visual symptoms or pain, a white spot on your cornea is typically nothing to worry about. It could be from previous injury or infection or merely aging changes of the cornea. You should see your ophthalmologist to determine the cause and if any treatment is needed.
