Probably not: But you should have his pediatrician take a look at his eyes. Simple allergic or viral conjunctivitis causes increased tearing which blurs lights making them appear brighter and scattered. The itching caused will make a 6 or 60 year old rub their eyes also.

My 5 year old has grey patches above her iris, more so on the white part of her eyes. I noticed she had a grey spot when she was younger but these patches are new. She was also prescribed glasses recently. Should I worry?
