Baby Health: Eye Specks

This speck could be almost anything, from a cataract to a simple reflection from the surface of the eye that is likely of little consequence. A cataract is potentially a big problem, requiring immediate attention. When a pediatrician notices a speck in a child's eye, they will often refer the child to a pediatric ophthalmologist to get it checked out.

Given that your pediatrician is in a good position to detect abnormalities in baby's health, but is not experienced in the examination and diagnosis of specific eye problems, my advice to you is to immediately seek an appointment with an experienced pediatric eye specialist to get the speck checked out.
