Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a white spot on the cornea.
White spot on the cornea indicates corneal opacity.
Corneal opacity usually results from infection, injury, degenerations...
The corneal opacity requires treatment if it is in the centre of the cornea and affecting vision. The treatment is by phototherapeutic keratectomy or by keratoplasty.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
