I was first diagnosed with Ocular Histoplasmosis 30 years ago - I have had 5 re-occurances since then (both eyes).  I now find that I have tiny brown spots on the centre of my lense in the right eye.  The 1st Dr. said I have a cataract, the 2nd said it wasn't, and took photo's to be compared in 3 months time.  
She thought they may have come from the OH.  Any suggestions - is this common in other OH patients?

OH does NOT cause cataracts. If you have cataracts its a separate problem.
