White Spots On Eyes

[sickboy]

Hi,

I've yet to be diagnosed (awaiting biopsy results) but I seem to have many celiac/gluten intolerance symptoms - they are on a separate post if you're interested.

The reason for posting today is that I had a routine eye check up. My vision is 20/20 but the optician did say they she could see white spots on my cornea. She doesn't necessarily think this is a cause for concern but has forwarded the results to my GP to help with diagnosis. So my question is - could this be related to gluten or completely unrelated?

One thing I noticed in the test is that it takes me about 5 seconds to focus with one eye when switching eyes - but I think this is just due to fatigue.

Many thanks.

It may be but I would ask for a refferal to an eye specialist, an MD (I can never think of what they are called) to check this out.
