What Causes White Colored Spot On The Eye?

I have a white spot on the iris of my eye and there is a line of blootshot coming down from it. This started about 2 weeks ago and then my eye got really red and irritated, I went to my doctor and they said it was a viral infection and gave me antibiotic eye drop, it cleared up the major irritations and the majority of the redness in my eye but I still have this white dot and the line of bloodshot and my eye just feels different.

Hello
It seems from the history that you had a white spot over the cornea associated with redness of the eyes.
This indicates corneal infiltration.
The treatment by antibiotic eye drops is in right direction and it will resolve with treatment.
It will take time for the white spot on the cornea to disappear, hence no need to worry, do continue the treatment as advised by your eye doctor.

Thank you
