i have a dark patch on my iris. is it possible to remove it?
Can i remove spot on iris?
A fairly significant percentage of the population have iris spots. The 'danger' is that the spot may not just be a bunch of pigment or a freckle but something worse. Iris melanomas are the not so nice ones and are cancers. They can be removed.
The ophthalmologist who does this would look at the little spot and photograph it. He might do an angiogram to see what type of vasculature it has. He might do ultrasound to see if he can identify by sound, the cell type.
Malignant tumors have their own characteristics.
The surgery to remove one depends on whether the spot is central..or near the pupil, or at the base. IF it's at the base, does it go back further behind the iris? Does it involve the part of the iris at the base called the ciliary body. The ciliary body has muscles in it which run circularly, and obliquely and when they contract, the lens changes focus.
If you've had this spot your whole life, and can see it in photos, and it hasn't changed, it's a spot. Just leave the thing alone. The surgery isn't bad for the little ones, but it would probably disfigure your iris. And you think it looks funny now?
Reply:Coming up next... plastic eye surgery.
Please don't be silly, it not a dangerous spot and no big deal, learn to love your self for the person you are. Spotty eyes and all.
Reply:NO. Go to an eye specialist. Do not try to remove it yourself. You could damage your iris, eye or cause blindness. See a specialist. It may be that you got something in your eye and did not notice such as a piece of rust or something else.
Please have a specialist look at this. Never try to remove something from your eye yourself.
Good Luck!
