Hello I noticed a brown spot in my right eye, i googled and its come up with eye freckle getting anxious worried about melanoma.  i do suffer health anxiety and really struggle to think rationally.  my last eye test and scan was 18 months ago and nothing was said other than I'm short sighted but eyes look healthy.  I am of asian origion not sure if freckles are common i do have a lot of moles.  I couldn't find much on here about oculus melanoma. I know your probably can't help but I appreciate any support 

Many thanks

    I would go have another eye test at your opticians. They will pick up if it's unusual & needs further examination. They will contact your GP who will refer you to the eye clinic at your local hospital (the optician can't refer you directly themselves). Hopefully your optician can put your mind at rest.
