Just noticed some white flecks in the iris of both eyes on my 25 yo Trekhner. No inflamation or seeping. Just curious if it is something to be watchful of. I also sent the pictures to my vet. right eyeleft eye

Hello Kathy,
These areas that are unpigmented are often seen in horse's eyes without problems. Sometimes they are born that way sometimes this is acquired. However loss of pigment (as well as increased pigmentation) can also be a sign of inflammation. If there are no other problems with the eyes then I would not be very concerned.
