What's wrong with black spots on the white of the baby's eye?

If there are black spots on the white of the eye, the first thing to consider is whether there is a foreign body sensation, pain or itching. If you rub your eyes frequently, it may be trachoma. However, if there are no other symptoms, it can basically be determined to be melanin deposition. However, babies will not have the above conditions. Generally, it is because of the symptoms of conjunctival nevus. So what should be the matter with the black spots on the white of the baby's eye? Let’s take a look together below!

1. Small blue-black dots or patches can often be seen on the whites of normal people's eyes, which are more obvious in preschool children. What is the reason for this? This is because the choroid is located below the sclera, which is rich in pigments and blood vessels. The sclera is not yet fully developed in children and its thickness is only 2/3 of that of adults. Therefore, the pigments and blood vessels of the choroid can be vaguely seen through the thin sclera as small blue-black dots, which are of no clinical importance. However, if you see that the entire white of the eye is gray-blue and has lost its normal luster, or there are local gray-blue bulges on the white of the eye, this is an abnormal phenomenon. The former is called blue sclera, and the latter is called scleral staphyloma.

2. This little black spot may indeed be vitreous opacity. Medically, such symptoms are called floaters, a common disease. Don't worry about it. The so-called vitreous opacity means that your eyeball is not as clear and transparent as normal people. Normal vitreous is 99% water, and the remaining 1% is other colloids. The appearance of opacity means that your ratio has changed. It is a disease caused by metabolic disorders. There is currently no drug treatment, but it will not develop quickly. If you really feel uncomfortable and it affects your life, you can do a vitrectomy to cut off the original vitreous and inject silicone oil or other inert gas fillings to solve your problem. However, surgery is risky after all, and the cost of this surgery is relatively high, so it is not recommended to take surgery unless it is absolutely necessary.

3. There are black spots in the white of the eye. Consider two reasons. On the one hand, lack of sleep and long hours in front of the computer may lead to eye fatigue, increased intraocular pressure and congestion; on the other hand, eye inflammation may stimulate the conjunctiva and cause conjunctivitis. Pay attention to rest, massage your eyes appropriately, avoid facing the computer for a long time, eat a light diet, and observe for a few days. If you feel any discomfort, you need to go to the hospital for an ophthalmology examination and receive timely treatment.

The above introduces some problems about black spots on the white of the baby's eye. Eat more fruits and vegetables on a daily basis to increase vitamins. Also, pay attention to eye hygiene, do not let water enter the eyes, and avoid cross-infection in the swimming pool. Babies need careful care from adults. If the symptoms are serious, they need to go to the hospital for treatment.
