A member asked:

My 8 year old is seeing white spots.. couple of weeks ago he asked us whether it is snowing outside... we saw an eye dr, all good with the eye.

Likely no problem: If the eye doc has done an evaluation, that is a good start. You should ask the eye doc that question about what the white spots are or if they are a problem. They are likely floaters which are not usually a problem for vision but can be annoying if we focus on them. If the problem worsens, go back to the eye doc.

Mgt: I would recommend a retinal exam and metabolic screening blood tests. This is potentially a serious symptom and warrants follow up.
