What Does A Moving White Particle Inside The Cornea Indicate?
Hi doctors,I just happened to look into the mirror and found a white particle inside the cornea. It seems to be 'swimming' whenever I move my heads. May I know what's the reason for the formation of white particles? I have a cataract operation 10 years ago. Thank you for your help.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having a white layer inside the cornea. Since you have undergone a cataract surgery also this may indicate opacified lens capsule called as after cataract.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
