A member asked:
Yes eye color is genetically chosen but i'm the only one out of both parents that have this bright gold ring around the iris is it a disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely : Iris colors, textures and patterns are as variable as people are. As long as you're vision is normal and your eyes are very similar in their appearance and you feel well, then it is unlikely there's a problem. Always, when in doubt, have an eye exam for reassurance.
