A member asked:

Are there any over the counter remedies for a white spot on the iris of the eye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spot on iris?: The iris is inside the eye and surface anatomical aspects will not be affected by anything you do. But the spot, if new, might be a corneal ulcer which will look superimposed on the iris. This needs treatment so if this is the case, especially if the eye is red and/or painful, then see your ophthalmologist.
