What Does Black Spot On Eye Indicate?
My sister & I went to an eye exam today and they noticed a black spot behind her eye. They said their not sure what it might be so they did further testing and results will be told in a week or so. My sister is worried and want to know what it might be.

Hello
It seems from the history that your sister was told about a black spot in her eye.
This probably indicates a opacity in the back portion of the eye called as floater or vitreous opacity.
Most of floaters are benign and may not indicate a problem and they just indicate degenerations of the vitreous. Hence no need yo worry.
However you can come back to me with the investigation reports so that I can advice you more accurately.
Thank you
