Small brown spot on white of eyes?

Child has 1 eye with brown spot in otherwise blue eyes?

• Answer:

  Hello, I just came across your question while searching Google for the reason for a brown spot in a blue eye. I have blue eyes myself, except for a single brown spot in the blue in my right eye. Here is what I found on the subject, ""Nearly all Caucasian infants have blue eyes. This is mainly due to the fact that there are very few "melancholics", or pigment cells, in the iris. And those melancholics that are present contain very little pigment. In black and brown races the iris stoma is more dense and the melancholics contain more pigment, giving rise to a blue-gray appearance. In all races, the pigment cells multiply as the child grows but if the cells contain little to no pigment the eye will stay relatively blue. So, in reality, there are no REAL blue-eyed people, just those that failed to develop brown pigmented melancholics! Most of you with light-colored eyes have probably noticed a "spot" or two of brown on your eyes. These are clumps of melancholics that happen to contain more pigment. These may be called "nevi" or just plain "freckles". They are not unlike those spots on your skin that you call freckles; just a clump of more highly pigmented melancholics."
