dark ring around iris

Question
I have a middle school student who has a dark ring around both irises.  I'm wondering if I need to refer him for further evaluation.


Answer
Dear Kay,



If not got a thorough eye check till date with an eye surgeon then best to see one.



As it is difficult to comment on just a description, it is best to take an experts adviseHowever, the reasons could vary from being something like a pigment which is natural or something systemic as well. hence best that a doctor evaluates this.



Best,

Dr Shroff
