A member asked:

How could we detect any health disorder to see the eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not quite: Many diseases can be diagnosed or hinted at from an examination of the eyes. But there are many others not reflected in the eyes.The principal issue is vascular changes in the back of the eye and alterations in the structure of the eye.
