Husband, 76 years, woke up yesterday conplaining of pain in right eye. It looked red and inflamed. There appeared to be some matting. We use over the counter eye drops for red eye. I noticed a small white, milky looking spot on the iris (location - 7 oclock between pupil and edge of iris. Thought it was a floater. Used a sterile ointment "night time eye lubricant" last night. It was difficult for him to sleep because of the pain. First I thought of cold in the eye... He had something similar about a week ago in the left eye... and then I thought possible pink eye. Today we rinsed it twice with boric acid - 1 teaspoon to large glass of water. He has slept off and on most of the day. Just checked it again and the white area looks a little larger and the eye is weeping. The redness is not as pronounced as yesterday but he continues to have pain.

I would take him to our family doctor or even to an ophthalmologist. It's not a good idea to mess around with sense organs, especially eyes.

Yes, this is not normal and needs to be seen by the doctor
