Time for Appt: I did some research as I haven't had a patient ask me this question before. White Dot Syndrome appears to match your question. It is an inflammation on the inside anatomy of the eye. I would recommend seeing an Ophthalmologist for a full eye exam to determine the cause. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dot_syndromes
