Hello,

It could be a hypopigmented birth spot . Actually I would like to see the picture . see dots in the iris and at the edge of iris and sclera are mostly moles but they are usually dark in colour but can be light also . they are usually not worrisome unless they change in size shape and colour as rest of the moles in the body.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
