What Does A White Spot In Eyes Indicate?

My eye is red and I noticed a tiny white spot on the white of my eye on the side closest to my nose. My eye hurts if I put pressure on my eyelid. Also I wake up with discharge in my eye. I've put eye drops and a warm compress but nothing seems to help.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.

It seems from the history that you are having a white spot on the white part of the eye. This can be because of conjunctival degeneration like pterygium or because of inflammation of episclera or sclera in the form of episcleritis or scleritis. This requires treatment by the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
