Question 1

what does a yellow ring around the pupil mean besides stress?

Accepted Answer

No true: A yellow ring around the pupil has nothing to do with stress.

Question 2

blue grey eyes with yellow/golden ring around pupil, what is it?

Accepted Answer

New?: You may have normal irises with peripupillary color that is different than the periphery. If you are otherwise healthy and without ocular injuries, surgery, eye medication or systemic disease that results in ocular complications (diabetes, connective tissue disease) your color of your eyes is most likely normal.

Question 3

i have a yellow/beige ring around my pupil and in my eye. are there any eye drops that i can take to make the whites of my eyes whiter instead of them being beige?

Accepted Answer

No: Any discoloration like you describe is a sign that something untoward is going on. Please see an ophthalmologist very soon.

Question 4

i am a darker skinned individual and my eyes are slighty yellow. for example, i have a yellow ring around my pupil. is it hereditary? are there any eye drops that i could take to make the whites of my eyes whiter?

Accepted Answer

No drops: Some darker skinned individuals have yellowish sclerae (whites of eyes.) Others may have a hereditary condition called Gilbert's disease in which serum bilirubin is elevated and causes slight yellow tinge. No drops will help. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 5

pupils being a little yellow on the bottom?

Accepted Answer

Iris color: You are probably looking at either the variation of iris color which can look a little yellowish at various places (and in your case on the bottom) or you are noticing a deposit called corneal arcus (not in the iris) which is a layering of lipid at the edge of the cornea.  Both of these are benign conditions with no functional significance.

Question 6

i know someone with yellow where the white of your eyes are and a white halo right above the pupil. what could that be?

Accepted Answer

Jaundice!: When there is a high level of blood bilirubin, then the sclera changes color to a yellow tone ( jaundice).  The cornea which is a clear dome in front of the colored part of the (iris) acts as a sponge & picks up material such as cholesterol over the years and develops a whitish ring called "arcus sinilius" which is also benign.  In a young person it may be sign of very high cholesterol. Get checke.

Question 7

i have a fluffy looking yellow spot in my eye by the  pupil in my whole eye also feels itchy and hurts a bit, it's not stringy runny. it's like a spot?

Accepted Answer

Pinguecula: You have discovered your pinguecula.  Most people in the middle years have these to some degree - they are the eyes protective deposit against wind and sun and occur next to the color part of the eye on either side.  They are asymptomatic unless seriously large.  You almost certainly have these in both eyes.

Question 8

i get stringy clear/yellow eye mucus. blurs over my pupil when i blink & hurts, so i remove daily w/ a cotton swab. how to get rid of permanently?

Accepted Answer

Allergies or blepharitis: Allergies cause mucous & tearing. Over-the-counter allergy medicine & eyedrops help relieve it. Zaditor (ketotifen) is a good eyedrop. Blepharitis also causes this.  It's a minor infection of the eyelids. Crusting & tearing is common. Warm compress with daily baby shampoo washing of the eyelids helps relieve this. Severe cases are placed on antibiotics by your doctor.

Question 9

19 years old. yellow spot on my left pupil when taking flash pictures. had a lazy eye since birth. my left eye vision is poor. could these be the cause? i regularly see my opthomologist?

Accepted Answer

Pupil spot: Don't understand what a "yellow spot on the left pupil when taking flash pictures" means. If you regularly see an eye doctor, I doubt this is the cause.

Question 10

i have several thin rings around my pupils, could. it be kayserfleischer rings?

Accepted Answer

You would need an: In person exam to find out.  Kf rings are usually in the far periphery of the cornea and quite rare.
