Tiny white dot in my pupil. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get it checked: The pupil is the black space where there is a central opening in the colored iris. So, there should not be a white dot in the pupil as this would actually be inside the eye. It is probably on the cornea, which is the clear dome over top of the iris and pupil. However, a white spot on the cornea is not good, as it could be an ulcer, a foreign body, or scar.
