A member asked:

Grey ring around iris of my eye, should i br concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Corneal arcus: This is a normal deposit of lipid in a ring around the edge of the cornea. It is not on the iris which is totally inside the eye. It just looks like it is on the iris in normal viewing. It is not something to be concerned about.
