Brief Answer:
In majority of cases is nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I would like to open by asking whether the shadow seen was in both eyes or only one?

In majority of cases, a grey shadow is no real cause for concern and can be completely harmless, but very rarely they can be associated with a few conditions that can cause harm (very rarely), which is why an elaborate evaluation by a specialist is always part of protocol, and in most cases turns out to be just good news of good health.

I hope you find this helpful. Please do not hesitate to write to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
