Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have noticed mole like spots in my eye and light colored yellow red patch. I do not have any problem in vision or itchiness. I noticed it two months back but I do not know when did it develop. I have attached the photograph of the eye. Is it a tumor?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the picture you sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is totally normal. What you are mentioning as a mole is like spots. Those are normal melanin pigments deposited in the conjunctiva. They are not a tumor. You should be concerned only if you notice a sudden change in growth or color. Otherwise, it is totally normal to have different variations in eye color.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

These changes have developed in the previous months only. Should I be worried then?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There is absolutely no need to worry. As much as I can notice, it is perfectly normal. If there is any problem, you can follow up for more information.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
