A member asked:
What type of eye infections can cause a white fleck on top of the iris?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Corneal infiltrate: The white spot is more likely on the cornea (surface of eye), not the iris below the cornea. This can be serious. You need to see and eye doctor asap (and stop using your contact lens in that eye if you are using one).
