Introduction
In general, yellow spots on the white part of the eye can be resolved, but they will not disappear automatically and require treatment. Yellow spots on the sclera may be caused by factors such as inflammatory irritation, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, nutritional deficiencies, or ocular trauma, leading to pigment deposition in the retina. This pigment deposition does not break down spontaneously, so it will not resolve on its own.

Generally, yellow spots on the white part of the eye can be removed, but they will not disappear automatically and require treatment. Specific analysis is as follows:

Yellow spots on the white of the eye may be caused by factors such as inflammatory irritation, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, lack of nutrients, or ocular trauma, leading to pigment deposition in the retina. This type of pigment deposition does not break down spontaneously and therefore will not disappear on its own. If there are no other abnormal symptoms besides the yellow spots, treatment is usually unnecessary. However, if the yellow spots are accompanied by symptoms such as eye pain or redness and swelling, patients should visit a正规 hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment to eliminate the spots. For those particularly wishing to remove the yellow spots, laser therapy at a正规 medical facility may be an effective option.

In daily life, it's important to manage screen time and avoid prolonged eye strain. Additionally, protecting the eyes properly contributes significantly to maintaining good eye health.
