What's going on with a small white spot on my eyeball?

The eyeball is the pupil of the human body, an organ used to receive light from the outside world and an important part of the visual system. Sometimes people will find a small white spot on their eyeballs. This may be caused by bullous conjunctivitis. Effective measures should be taken in time to treat it to prevent more serious conditions. Let’s take a detailed look at what happens when a small white spot grows on the eyeball.

The appearance of white spots on the eyeballs is generally caused by bullous keratitis, which is often accompanied by symptoms such as eye congestion and itching. Most of them are related to delayed allergies. You can go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for a clear examination and take corresponding treatment measures. If you use ofloxacin eye drops and cortisone eye drops for treatment, pay attention to proper eye use and avoid eye cosmetics and spicy food stimulation.
