What is the reason for a white spot on the iris of a newborn?

Patient's question:

Just found out when the moon was full. The baby didn't react, neither crying nor fussing. The black part of the eye wasn't completely black. There was a patch of white.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if there are large white spots in your baby's fundus, it's important to pay attention to whether there is congenital developmental malformation or degeneration of the fundus tissue. It is recommended to have a regular eye examination at the hospital ophthalmology department and actively treat the symptoms according to the condition. Since there are various causes of pediatric fundus disease, it is necessary to understand the etiology before treatment and implement symptomatic treatment principles. Moreover, daily nursing measures are essential. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and more eye-protecting foods.
