A member asked:

White tiny cloudy dot on one side of eye. is this serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be floater: Are you seeing this in your visual field, or is it something you see physically on your eye. If it floats around, we call it a floater. If it is new, it should be checked by an ophthalmologist to check for retinal holes or tears.
