So you have been told by your eye doctor there is a freckle in your eye. Should you be worried? It could be a number of things but the most likely are choroidal nevus (benign choroidal melanoma) or CHRPE (congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigmented epithelium). Both conditions are usually benign and not a serious problem. They both need to be monitored to make sure they are not malignant melanomas.
Hysterical Amblyopia
Hysterical Amblyopia is a syndrome that is characterized by reduced visual acuity not caused by any type of eye disease. It is 4 times more prevalent in girls and shows a peak in incidence between the ages of 11 to 14.

Eye Doctors Find Red, Swollen Morning Eyes Are Not Always Serious Problems Like Glaucoma Or Dry Eyes
Red eyes and swollen eyelids upon awakening in the morning are common eye problems that many people suffer from with vague diagnoses usually of dry eyes or eye allergies. As you sleep at night the normal tear film is not being pumped out through the tear ducts and spread across the eyes by the wiper like motion that occurs with normal blinking. The eye at night becomes a static environment while you sleep, trapping bacteria on the surface of the ocular tissues. The eye has its own immune system that is ramped up at night to compensate for this increase in bacteria. The result is a state of mild inflammation that occurs in everybody.
