Slight cloudiness in eye

[MWpiggies]

Hello everyone! Eddie is almost 5 and I have noticed for the past month a slightly cloudy area between his iris and the whites of his eye, It hasn’t changed over the month and he doesn’t seem to be in any discomfort or have vision loss, does anyone know what it may be or if he should see a vet? Thanks!

Yes do see a vet. You would want to have a diagnosis of the issue in case it is something which does need treatment.
It might be that it is osseous choristoma - a white spot which is turning into bony tissue. It isn’t painful and cannot be treated but it is still a good idea to have it checked by the vet.

(osseous metaplasia is the same but it forms a ring rather than a spot around the eye)
