What is an Eye birthmark?

It is called an Iris Nevus, which means it is a freckle. I have one also and didnt know what it was until recently. My eyes are very  green and the "freckle" is  kinda reddish brown and located near the pupil and about the same size, as the pupil of my right eye. I was told it is nothing to worry about unless it does change. I have listed some sites that I  found to be informative. Hope this helps you. Blessings :)

Localized skin diseases > Pigments\nAn increase in melanin pigmentation may be caused by an increased density of melanocytes, by abnormal packaging of melanin, or by increased melanin production. Pigmented birthmarks usually reflect local increases in melanocyte numbers, but in certain rare congenital pigmentary disorders, such as von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis, there is abnormal…\n\n\nskin disease...

A nevus tumor is basically a small pigmented (brown) spot on the optic nerve.  Eye Doctors have a hard time  distinguishing cancerous tumors from a nevus growth so they may watch closly to be sure it does not increase in size.

Definatly go see an optomitrist as soon as you can. I found this on web md this is the only thing I could find. Hope this helps and hope it's not too serious.\n\n\n  \n\n \n \nQuestion\n\nI have developed a greyish ring around my iris in both eyes. \n\nCould you please tell me what it is? I have not been to a doctor since I was 8 years old. \n\nAnswer\n\nDeposits within the cornea may occur in a variety of conditions. Often these are caused by drugs that are used in the treatment of medical conditions; sometimes they may be fatty deposits and only rarely are they the tell tale signs of systemic disease. \n\nAssuming that you enjoy good health, that you do not have gout (podagra or uric acid) or liver disease and that you take no medication, I suggest that you visit your optician first and then your doctor.\n\nIt will be helpful if you are able to tell your GP the details of your blood-relatives' history of any familial illnesses. You probably have arcus senilis whereby fat is deposited in the eye. Since this is sometimes associated with abnormalities of fat metabolism, your doctor may wish to check your fasting levels of blood fats. However, in most individuals arcus is an incidental finding of no great importance.\n\nYours sincerely\n\nThe Medical Team\n\n \n\n \nLast updated 24.01.2006

They're called Port Wine Stains because of the colour.  They are a type of birthmark and can be removed by laser surgery.

Nothing serious I hope. I heard once that when they are new, the blood vessels are so close to the surface of the eye that the slightest touch would cause bleeding? Made sense at the time. That's for brand new babies though. If it continues call the doctor! ASAP.. Congratulations!~:)x

That would be funny.  But, what's sad is that people will actually believe you!\n\nI always wanted to get a tattoo on my neck or upper arm of some unknown symbol.  When people ask me what it is, I would tell them it's a birthmark and I'm the "chosen one."

There is a WONDERFUL site that you can input both parents eye colors (and their parents) and it will tell you the percentages of what you offsprings eyes could be!\n\nhttp://www.thetech.org/genetics/\n\nDown near the bottom left it will have the link for you to launch the application to do the test.

Those are usually called "floaters", and they're basically bits of undissolved organic material literally "floating" in the gel part of your eye. They aren't a big deal unless they start impeding with vision, which can be a sign of a tear somewhere in your eye. If you've seen an optomitrist and they can't find any tear then it's just floaters (which unfortunately do get worse with age).

Your stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable months after you give birth but will never go away as they are similar to scars.  However, you can see a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:\n\ntretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)\nlaser therapy\n\nYour health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost.

An epicanthal fold, epicanthic fold or epicanthus is a skin fold of the upper eyelid (from the nose to the inner side of the eyebrow) covering the inner corner (medial canthus) of the human eye. This fold covers and appears to lower the inner corners of the eyes, creating the appearance of "slanted eyes." It is commonly known amongst Asians as "single-eyelids", as opposed to "double eyelids".\n\nThe occurrence of the epicanthic fold is believed to be an evolutionary defense against both the extreme cold as well as the extreme light that occurs in the Eurasian arctic and north. A few have opted to have them minimized by blepharoplasty. Epicanthal folds may also be seen in young children of any race before the bridge of the nose begins to elevate.\n\nThe distribution of epicanthal folds is numerous. It can also be found in significant numbers amongst Native Americans, the Khoisan of Southern Africa, many Central Asians and some people of Sami origin. The presence of epicanthal folds is normal in people of many, though not all, groups of East Asian and Southeast Asian descent. It also occurs sometimes on people of South Asian descent. Children of a parent with a pronounced epicanthal fold and one without an epicanthal fold will have varying degrees of epicanthal folds as a result. Epicanthal folds are also common in people with Down syndrome.

Retinoblastoma is a tumor of the tissue from the back of the eye.  It's often caused by an inherited defect in the so-called "retinoblastoma" gene.  A bilateral retinoblastoma is evidence that this defect was inherited.  On the other hand, retinoblastoma in only one eye is evidence that it was just a random occurance, instead of an inherited defect.  There is a 50% chance of passing on the defective gene to your offspring.  \n\nIt's usually detected early in life.  One of the key signs is "white eye" -- a whiting out of the pupil in photographs.  Just like red eye, but instead of the normal reflective retina, the camera picks up the tumor at the back of the eye, hence the white appearance.  \n\nThe prognosis is pretty good for this tumor, but it does predispose you to other cancers.

Most babies have blue eyes when they are born and then their eyes darken as they age.\n\nWhen someone has two eyes of a different color it is pretty rare and usually results from some sort of genetic loss of pigmentation or can result from eye trauma.\n\nThe basis of eye color mostly has to do with melanin pigmentation.  If you have a lot of melanin you have brown eyes if you have very little you have blue eyes.  Everyone else is somewhere in between except people with green eyes which can result from flecks of yellowish fatty pigments against a dark background.

sounds like it could be retinoblastoma. It's bascially a tumor in the eye. Can be malignant. The only way to get rid of it is to remove the whole eye.. I mean if this is what she has. It's better to do it sooner than later before it spreads to the other eye. Any how the best thing to do would be to see a dr.

Birthmarks get their name for one simple reason: They are marks that are present on the skin of a lot of newborn babies! A baby can develop birthmarks either before he or she is born or soon after birth. \n\nOne of the most common types of birthmarks is called a hemangioma (say: he-man-jee-o-muh). These birthmarks happen when many new blood vessels group together in one place on the skin. Blood vessels are tiny tubes that carry blood through the body. \n\nNo one knows what causes blood vessels to group together, but it's good to know that most birthmarks don't hurt at all and they usually aren't a sign of any kind of illness. Lots of newborns have these birthmarks on the back of the neck (where they're called stork bites) or between the eyebrows (where they're called angel kisses). These birthmarks usually disappear within the first few weeks or months of life. \n\nTypes of Hemangiomas\nOne kind of hemangioma is called a strawberry hemangioma. If you think it gets its name from the fruit, you're right. A strawberry hemangioma is bright red and sticks out of the skin, so it does look a little bit like a strawberry. Some strawberry hemangiomas go away on their own by the time a kid is about 5 years old. Almost all strawberry hemangiomas go away by themselves by the time a kid is about 9 years old. \n\nThere is another type of hemangioma that is beneath the outer layer of skin. It's called a cavernous (say: ka-vur-nus) hemangioma. Cavernous means "like a cave," which is deep in the earth, like this type of birthmark is deep beneath the outer layer of skin. This kind of birthmark is puffier than a strawberry hemangioma. It's also a different color: not red like a strawberry, but more bluish-red. Cavernous hemangiomas usually don't go away by themselves. \n\nPort-Wine Stains\nAnother kind of hemangioma is a port-wine stain. This isn't puffy or raised like a strawberry or cavernous hemangioma - it's level with the outer layer of skin. A port-wine stain is an area of skin that is either maroon (a purplish-red color) or dark red. It gets its name from port wine, a type of wine that is dark maroon. Kids who have port-wine stains usually have them on the face and neck. \n\nDoctors can sometimes use laser surgery to treat birthmarks so that they can't be seen as much. It's important to remember, though, that birthmarks really aren't a big deal and kids who have them aren't any different from kids who don't. \n\nP.S. - If you have had any brown, blue, or black spots on your skin since birth, they are probably types of moles! Moles are tiny collections of pigment cells - cells that contain color. Like other birthmarks, moles don't hurt and usually aren't a sign of illness in kids. Sometimes they're even called beauty marks or beauty spots. But if you have questions about a mole or birthmark on your body, feel free to ask your doctor about it.

Birth marks are generally benign tumors (that is, growths that are not dangerous) that form on babies before birth or in the first few weeks after birth. Actually, no one really knows what causes birth marks. We know what they are and how they form and what to do about them. But why they start growing in some people and not others is a bit of a mystery. Sometimes they seem to run in families, so genetics may (or may not) play a role, but mostly, they just happen. It will take future Mad Scientists like you to find out what triggers them off. Birthmarks are just part of our birth, that's why it is called birthmarks. Actually, birthmarks have different advantages like in knowing if the dead people you saw is really your relative, find its birthmark. There is only 1% chance of having the same birthmarks as the other people. That's All!
