Spot_in_Cornea
I had conjunctivitis. As a result, small white spots appeared on the cornea of my eye. My eye doctor diagnosed this problem about 1 year ago and said that these spots will not go away. I saw the ophthalmologist again 2-3 days ago and he said that the spots still exist and they are not likely to go away. The doctor told me to use a gel called "Hylo Gel" 4 times a day. These spots have not had any effect on my vision yet. Will The Can Heal In Future? And if these spots do not go away, will they cause any damage to the eyes or will these spots grow more? Please help me.

White spots on cornea post conjunctivitis generally appear when even cornea was involved in the infection( keratitis). They are the remnant scars and if in periphery do not cause any visual disturbances. They will not go away.
