    I dont think anyone on here could give you a specific answer. If you are concerned you need to see an optometrist, optician or ophthalmologist,or if you are in UK , your GP.

    The only thing I can say is that Lisch nodules sit on top of the iris...the coloured part....and look quite distinct.

    Hi Maria! Looking at your pictures, these seem to be nothing more than spots, like the ones we have on our skin.

    They may appear due to a build-up of pigment and should not be accompanied by any symptoms.

    If you experience pain, discomfort, or worsening of your visual acuity, you should see an ophthalmologist. Otherwise, don't worry.
