What Is The Cause For A Twig In The Eye While Running?

Someone I know has metastasized cancer that started as an ocular melanoma. So when I checked my own eyes, I found there is an approx. 1 mm diameter of irregular-shaped dark spot in my iris. It is on the outside of the jagged boundary between the inner and outer parts of the iris. (I mention this because I am still confused as to whether that places it in the ciliary body, etc.) About a week ago, I did get a twig in the eye while running after my dog in the woods, although I've actually forgotten which eye. So I'm just wondering if it's most likely a trauma injury, a nevi...or the unthinkable. Thanks for any help.

You will have nothing tohave twig in eye while running. Back mole can be present in any part of eye. They are begnine. Only you should watch its size. If start growing insize then consult doctor.
