A member asked:
Why is the outside of my iris darker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just color: Is it uniformly dark and symmetrical? Then do not worry, its just the coloration of the iris. The outside is thicker and denser. If you have just localized darkness then you need to see an ophthalmologist.
