I have a gray ring arond the iris in both my eyes.i am fe,38.is it a symptom of eye problem?

Definatly go see an optomitrist as soon as you can. I found this on web md this is the only thing I could find. Hope this helps and hope it's not too serious.













Question



I have developed a greyish ring around my iris in both eyes.



Could you please tell me what it is? I have not been to a doctor since I was 8 years old.



Answer



Deposits within the cornea may occur in a variety of conditions. Often these are caused by drugs that are used in the treatment of medical conditions; sometimes they may be fatty deposits and only rarely are they the tell tale signs of systemic disease.



Assuming that you enjoy good health, that you do not have gout (podagra or uric acid) or liver disease and that you take no medication, I suggest that you visit your optician first and then your doctor.



It will be helpful if you are able to tell your GP the details of your blood-relatives' history of any familial illnesses. You probably have arcus senilis whereby fat is deposited in the eye. Since this is sometimes associated with abnormalities of fat metabolism, your doctor may wish to check your fasting levels of blood fats. However, in most individuals arcus is an incidental finding of no great importance.



Yours sincerely



The Medical Team
