My dog has a cloudy spot in his eye. Does he need eye drops or a vet?

Question

I realize Jules has a small haze spot in one eye in the center it’s hasn’t got worse but it hasn’t disappeared. I wanted to know what drops can I give him or should I take him to the vet. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 6 years and 3 months old | 22 lbs

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is extremely difficult to say what is going on with Jules's eye. Eyes need to be examined with an ophthalmoscope in order to get a good view. Just looking at a photo from one angle is not enough. I cannot tell if the issue is on the cornea or actually inside the eye. It is best to have him examined in person by your vet so they can use the ophthalmoscope to get a good look. If it is on the cornea then it may be just a scar from a previous injury (one you may not have even noticed). It could also be what is called a "Florida spot". If it is inside the eye it could be an iris cyst or even an iris melanoma. Again, I really cannot tell from a photo. It is not an emergency but try to get Jules to your vet in the next week or so. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
