A member asked:

My 5 year old has grey cloudy marks on the white part of her eyes.should i be worried and what can it be?

Probably not: However, it would be smart to see an ophthalmologist and let them tell you what it is.

Probably normal!: See an ophthalmologist. Probably a nevis of the sclera or conjunctiva. But there is a possibility it could be something worse or be associated with a risk for getting glaucoma. Get it checked out.
