A member asked:

What is this little white dot on my cornea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Old scar: If actually on the surface of the cornea, it could be an old scar from a foreign body or an infection. Are you sure it is on the cornea, as white spots can appear on the iris which may look in the mirror as if it was on the cornea.
