Glowing spots in sclera

Hi,
Okay weird question. Currently both of my sons are under going medical testing to rule out Tuberous Scelerosis and in the interim we have bought a powerful blacklight (woodslamp) to evaluate my husband and my skins for Ashleafs. So through  blacklight self examinations I've discovered these 3 areas of glowing in my sclera. In my left eye there are areas on both sides of the iris that glow and as well as one on my right eye. I mean they GLOW. Totally different than the rest of the sclera. We have examined my mom, husband, and both boy's, and none have this glowing in the eyes. Just me. I've read that Ashleafs are found in the retina.. Not sclera. So should I be concerned and persue an Opthamology appt? I've never had any sight problems and have never had a formal eye exam except what you get at the DMV.
Also- In recent years I've noticed more "floaters" and in the last few months I had a couple episodes of flashes of light in my peripheral vision accompanied by vertigo that last only seconds. Recently I've noticed just a VERY brief and barely noticeable vertical bouncing of sight..( Maybe nastagmus? )When reading or looking online.
Just don't know if I should be concerned and if it points to something in particular. Thanks so much for your ideas and expertise!

I am not aware of a problem as you describe in sclera or iris in Tuberous sclerosis.  You should ask the doctor evaluating your sons.

You need to see an ophthalmologist regarding you floaters and flashes.

Im having these same problems I had a glow spot in my left eye and i thought it was a deformation but now I'm experience glowspots on my right eye which is so weird.
I am 19.

I went and saw an Opthamologist. He said they were mineral build up. He said they usually are on the whites of the eyes at mid horizontal line next the color part. He said it doesn't cause problems and is just a sign of aging. Only a few people get these.
It's weird.. I'm not THAT old and you certainly are not. I also have a build up of minerals in my kidneys... I wonder if it is all related.

...I wish I could get rid of them... maybe by drinking more water?
