Black spots in the eyes of children

The eyes are the windows to the soul. People's eyes can be said to be the seat of their souls. Some parents, when observing their baby's eyes, will find many small black spots in their eyes. If you find this situation, you should pay attention to it. The appearance of these spots may indicate that there is a problem with the child's eyes. Severe cases may affect the child's vision or even cause blindness. So what's the matter with the black spot in the child's eye?

If there are black spots or patches on the surface of the baby's white eye, it should be considered as a nevus of the conjunctiva or iris pigment. Blue-black dots or patches are often seen on the white of the eye of normal people. They are more obvious in preschool children because the choroid is under the iris, which contains a large amount of pigment and blood vessels.

The iris is not fully developed in childhood and its thickness is only two-thirds of that of an adult. Therefore, through the thin iris, you can vaguely see the pigment of the choroid and the blood vessels as blue-black dots. It is clinically of no importance and does not require treatment. Generally, there are no discomfort symptoms and it will not affect vision. No treatment is required. Just pay attention to observation. If it enlarges in the short term, please take to the hospital's ophthalmology department for treatment in time.

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. 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, through the thin sclera, you can vaguely see the pigments and blood vessels of the choroid as small blue-black dots.

Generally speaking, if there are small black spots on the white of the eye, from a professional point of view, they may be pigmented spots or nevi on the sclera or conjunctiva. This is just like when a person has freckles or moles on his body. From a medical point of view, it does not affect anything. No treatment is needed. If the black spot grows quickly, you need to go to the hospital for examination or treatment. Consider vitamin A deficiency: Protects the eyes and epithelial tissues throughout the body and indirectly resists infection from various diseases. Deficiency can cause night blindness, dry eyes, corneal softening or even perforation, blindness and low immunity. Vitamin A comes from cod liver oil, carrots, animal liver, kidney, milk, egg yolk, colored vegetables (pumpkin, chicken feather vegetable, clay, mustard greens, seaweed, etc.) and yellow fruits (apricot, persimmon, etc.).
