Is there a treatment for the brown spots in my eyes?
Annely asked...
I am a black African female from namibia, Southern Africa. Alot of my people have what an eye specialist diagnosed in me as 'ochular mellanosis' or mellanin occuring in the eyes. My eyes have brown spots, they look discoloured. Is there a treatment for this and because it has been around since my late teenage years can it have anything to do with jaundice?

There is no treatment for the brown spots in your eyes and they are not associated with jaundice. If you notice them enlarging or changing color you should see your ophthalmologist.
