Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

You are telling white spot in back of the eye. Kindly clarify whether this is diagnosed using split lamp or using retinoscopy to know whether in cornea or in retina. I hope its retina (back of eye), since progressed need to be evaluated. Can't you see entire chart or is there blurring of vision? Are you suffering from diabetes or hypertension? Are you taking any drugs? What are the investigations done and its reports. Kindly let us know about these for better discussion to pin point the problem.
Consult your doctor for further management. Feel free to ask me if you have any other queries or doubts and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
