Greyish black stuff on sclera.

Hi!

I just noticed some greyish-black stuff on my sclera (I've inserted a picture), and I have no clue as to what it is. It doesn't hurt and I don't feel anything in my eye when I blink. I've haven't had surgeries of any kind nor do I have any glasses. Any idea as to what I might be? Should I contact a doctor?

Thanks

You should see an eye doctor. Here is some information that might be relevant: reference.com/world-view/me...

99% sure that's ocular melanocytosis. It's benign, but get in touch with an ophthalmologist and have them check it out. Your risk factors for more complicated diseases are higher due to this condition.

Thanks for the answer!

Could it be axenfeld loops? I read about it last night, looks very similar to my case.

Hard to say from the image. Is there an open or obvious capillary/blood vessel connecting to most if not all pigmentations?

There's only one pigmentation with no blood vessel connections. All other pigments have one blood vessel connected.

Could be, but I would strongly advise a professional opinion.
