A member asked:
What could cause a blue halo to form around my once dark brown eyes?

See below: Sounds like you may have arcus senilis (cholesterol deposits in the outer circumference of the cornea). You are a bit young for this though. See your eye doctor and get your cholesterol checked.

Cholesterol : You may have high cholesterol and /or triglyceride levels that result in this blue halo appearance of your cornea, but only a blood test for these could tell you for sure. This deposition however is normal usually particularly if you are female or males over 40 years old. In darker races with brown eyes, it appears more whitish- blue and is easier to see.
