What is this?

Alright, for several years, I had a spot in my eye.  I went to see 3 different Doctors, including an eye doctor, and they all had different solutions.  One, it could simply be a freckle in my eye...two I could have accidentally burnt my eye with a magnifying glass, which I know is possible, seeing I accidentally burnt the inside of my nose once with the reflection of the sun.  And the third is the possibility of eye leakage.  I'll post images, what do you think it is?

I was told I have a little freckle on my right eye, which we can see. Size maybe of a tiny pin head. I just went a different DR and he said after taking pictures of my eyes I have a Nevus ( freckle) On my left eye. Whic I could see when he dilated my eyes and with the mirror image I could see the reflection. He told me it is eith cancer of the eye or Mac degenerated ( spelling) he told me to come back in a year. Well, after I left his office I now have questions. Maybe I should come back sooner to see if it grows, I now also have new glasses with bio focials ( I never had before) so, I am getting used to them. However, I also have headaches ( weather? , stress??? ) I am concern because I don't want to go blind and I don't want to die if I can get a early start on surgery or chemo something. I am 52 and female if this makes a difference. What can I do ?? I wear sun glasses. Thank you so much

It's a conjunctival nevus (a freckle on the outside of the eye like the first "doctor" told you") as long as it doesn't change in size or appearance no sweat. Second I wouldn't go back to the second or third doctors for anything.
