Re: Freckle in eye ?

‎04-03-2014 04:58 AM

I have the same thing, and have had it for a few years. When it was first discovered, it was rechecked every 6 months to be sure it didn't change. Now I have it checked every year. My opthamologist said it's unlikely to change and is more common than people think. At first I was a bit freaked out, but now it's just routine to me and not a big deal at all.

As for wishing the doctor never mentioned it, he has to mention it. And it's better that you know anyway, even if it's not a big deal.

These are are the kind of thing that people live their entire lives without ever knowing that they have it. Kiss

(And I just want to add that - as is typical with threads about medical issues - some incorrect/confusing information has been posted here. It's best to ask your own doctor so he can address your particular situation and also so you won't be confused by what others have posted.)
