What is this white, cloud-looking thing aroung my cornea and on my pupils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Corneal arcus: You are seeing a deposit of lipid at the edge of the cornea where the encircling blood vessels end and the clear cornea begins. This is called corneal arcus. It is not inside the eye - not on the iris or pupil. It is common, benign, and not treatable anyway.
