Hello

A 1-year white dot with grey edges, without pain, redness, discharge, or vision changes, is usually not dangerous. It may be a corneal scar or small deposit.

Advice: • Continue lubricating drops like Sodium Hyaluronate. • There is no safe home method to remove or brighten it. • Visit an eye specialist once for a slit-lamp examination to confirm the cause.

Prepare for visit: note when it started, take the photo, and list the drops you used.

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

A white dot in the eye, especially if it has been present for a year without causing any pain, redness, discharge, or blurred vision, is generally less likely to be dangerous. However, the definitive nature and cause of this spot need to be evaluated by a professional to rule out any potential serious conditions. Common possibilities could range from a benign pinguecula, which is a yellowish, raised growth on the conjunctiva, to something like a corneal opacity or early pterygium if it’s creeping onto the cornea. Given the description of greyish edges, it’s essential to assess whether it’s stable or slowly progressing. Sodium Hyaluronate 0.18% drops are good for keeping the eye hydrated but they don’t specifically treat the underlying spot or change its color or nature. If it’s aesthetic or bothersome in terms of cosmetic appearance, seeking a professional opinion would be wise. An ophthalmologist can use specific instruments to examine the dot’s depth, size, and characteristics more reliably. Visiting a doctor is advisable, especially for an annual check-up to ensure it’s not changing in significant ways or affecting your vision. When you prepare for your visit, keep a note of any potential changes you might’ve observed or symptoms, even if slight, and let the doctor know about any relevant eye history or environmental exposures. It might also be useful to bring the photograph or any documentation of changes over time. Taking these measures will help direct appropriate management and provide peace of mind regarding any potential risks.
