Brief Answer:
Looks like a pigmentation - probable scarring
Detailed Answer:
Hi.... I understand your concern. This looks like a pigmentation or a scar (The picture is not clear).
But if the child is not having any major issues or complaints because of it - you need not worry. It is not serious.
This requires a slit lamp examination by an ophthalmologist.
I suggest you approach a pediatric ophthalmologist regarding this.
