What Does A Brown Patch On The Eye Indicate?
Question: What is this brown patch on my eye?
Brief Answer:
Scleral pigmentation
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
This is so called scleral pigmentation or scleral melanocytosis. This is commonly seen in people and usually congential or present from childhood. It may enlarge in some cases but generally this is benign condition and wont affect your eye function at all.
It can be removed by ophtalmologists for estetic reasons,but as I see in your case this is only mild type of it and you dont need to be worried. Wish you good health. Regards
