A member asked:
Is it weird to have brown eyes with a blue ring around it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The bluish ring is usually a intra corneal cholesterol deposit known as arcus senilis. It may indicate an increased cholesterol and your doctor should check that. The other ring that is rarely seen is a kaiser-flescher ring seen if patients with a problem with copper metabolism (wilson's disease).
