My eyes are normally green, but today I noticed the edge of the colored part is somewhat gray. I'm not taking any type of medication, but if it matters, I haven't really slept much in the past week. My friend told me it could be a copper buildup due to some disease, but he didn't really know much.
What does it mean if you have gray rings in the outer edge of your iris?
It could be arcus senilis or arcus juvenilis. In older people it is usually just a cosmetic event. In younger people it may indicate cholesterol problems. It would be a good idea to have it checked out.
"However, a similar discoloration in the eyes of younger adults (arcus juvenilis) is often associated with high blood cholesterol. Such a finding in younger individuals warrants further evaluation by a doctor."
Reply:Get an eye exam with an optometrist or ophthalmologist.
