Question 1

what could cause or be related to holes in the iris of the eye?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: I am not sure what "holes" you refer to. If you have in mind black "dots" occasionally seen in one's iris, those are benign lesions that just don't have a normal pigment accumulation. If you do have symptoms or those "holes" are just bothersome in appearance, it won't hurt to consult optometrist or ophthalmologist for an in-depth exam.

Question 2

what are the causes of the iris of the eye to turn yellow?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Are saying the actual iris inside the eye?  Or the tissue around the iris on the surface of the eye.  The iris is fixed in color and will not change unless there is severe internal inflammation or actual trauma.  Yellowing around the iris can be a sign of hepatitis or other liver diseases.  Check with your family doctor to evaluate this.

Question 3

if you were to blow too hard when useing the frenzel maneuver to clear your ears could it cause damage to the eye resulting in a change in iris color?

Accepted Answer

No: Your iris cannot change color that way! it is possible to pop a blood vessel in the white area though. This would cause a red spot there.

Question 4

Abscess: An abscess is a collection of bacteria or fungus often surrounded by a membrane or capsule. An abscess can occur in the eye as part of a fungal infection or bacteria. Immunocompromised patients (ie, have diabetes, hiv, etc) are more susceptible to severe eye infections.  It can also occur on the eyelid skin or in skin glands around the eye: can be caused by clogged skin gland from skin bacterial.

Question 7
