Specializes in Ophthalmology

Iris nevus: You are likely describing an iris nevus, also called a mole. They are common and as harmless as a mole on your skin.

Dr Luchs agreed

Iris nevi: They actually are freckles and are extremely common. Just make sure they don't change, just like any birth mark.
