Is that a forien object in my eye?

Hello

I have noticed something at the edge of my iris, and It's making me wonder if it's a foreign object. I was able to take a picture which shows it, if you can tell me it's probable that it's a foreign object I would go see an ophthalmologist.

Thanks for the comment, I do some discomfort sometimes and my left eye is also redder than the right one most of the time. I'll go see an ophthalmologist

It does look like a foreign body in the pictures, although I would imagine that with an object of that size, that you would be having moderate discomfort.  I would see an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment.
