I have a dark spot on the iris of my eye. What could be the cause?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have realized that a dark spot appeared on the iris of my eye. I wanted to get a first opinion on an HD photo. Would that be possible? My partner informed me that she saw something similar in my eye in the past. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the query.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have a dark spot in the iris of your eye. According to the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity) that is provided here, you may suffer from dark spots on the iris due to higher lifetime exposure to sunlight or iris freckles due to excess production of melanin by melanocyte cells.

Suppose you observe any changes in dark spots, like getting larger or producing any vision problems, contact an eye specialist immediately. Usually, these types of dark spots are harmless and go away with time without any medical treatment.

In case of any other query, ask me.

Thank you.
