There is usually no known cause for eye freckles or conjunctival nevi. Conjunctival nevus is a pigment lesion that is on the white part of your eye.
Often, these freckles remain stable with no changes and is non-cancerous. However, it can change colour over time, especially during pregnancy or puberty.
If they appear to be getting larger or changing in colour, it is advisable to get them checked out by an eye doctor. It is important that these freckles are examined by an eye doctor to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment every 6 to 12 months.
You will need to go for a surgery if the nevus does need to be removed due to any future risks, complications or melanoma.
