Avatar f tn Iris color can be affected by trauma, if there was bleeding in the eye (hyphema) it can make the eye darker and also stain the cornea, or trauma can cause the pigment in the iris to fall out making it lighter in color.
565060 tn?1216416169 I have really dark brown eyes. In one of my eyes, there are three little white spots in the iris. I've searched online to see if this could be an eye condition that I would need to be concerned about and I couldn't find anything! I'll be very grateful for any information you can give me. My vision is pretty bad and it gets worse every year. I also have a picture for you to look at. You'll see that one section of my iris is a bit brighter than the rest of the iris.
Avatar f tn No unless there was blood in the anterior chamber (hyphema) that took a long time to absorb and it was a blue iris. Then it come make the iris a darker color.
Avatar m tn so a lot of people have either a different shade (a lighter color iris) or a totally different colored iris and they are most of the time, normal and fine?
173145 tn?1301700850 ) So we are thinking Lola or Iris. Iris is the name of a greek goddess and we have a weiner dog named Hercules so i think it fits but i also LOVE lola. HELP..lol tell me what you think.. O and there are pics in my profile.
Avatar f tn Question 1 - Has anyone been told or heard of light colored eyed people having more danger of damage to the iris during surgery/procedures? Maybe called a "thin" iris? Question 2 - Can someone with mild Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy wear contact lenses? I was told that if said damage to iris occurs a colored contact can be worn to offset the problem of glare.
Avatar m tn 97 cataract surgery). It was replaced with an anterior lens. In the process, the iris was torn to the extent that the new lens does not completlely cover my enlarged pupil, resulting in light "ghosts" to left of object light plus "ghosts of those ghosts" to right of object light. Vision 20-60, at best. Regarding my "ghost" issue I've been told a LARGER (custom) lens is improbable due to extensive FDA approval process. Does FDA control SIZE of lens?
Avatar f tn For those of you who already know the gender or have been told a guess by your US tech., do you have the "V" or "Y" shaped vein in the bottom of your eyeball (below the iris/pupil- pull down the lower eye lid)? Vein in left eye - girl; vein in right eye- boy. Just wondering if it matches up to what you're having if you have the vein! This is based on Iridology, not just old wivery tales. (I have a Y in the right eye, and hoping for a boy!
Avatar m tn While feeding our 6 month old daughter yesterday, we noticed a lighter section of colour in her iris at the top right corner of her left eye. It takes up approximately 5% and goes from the white part of her eye (sclera) to the pupil. She has medium to dark blue eyes and this looks to be 30% - 40% lighter than the other sections (a lighter blue). This only shows when you look at it in a specific light, other wise, you would never notice it.
Avatar m tn That would be incorrect. The pupil is the hole in the iris. The pupil is not always dark. Many photographs show a red pupil due to flash reflection.
Avatar f tn (I have a bad habit of closing them tightly shut) If so can raised eye pressure from squeezing eyelids tightly shut effect the pigments in the iris resulting in hyperpigmentation? , basically does raised eye pressure effect the color of the iris?
Avatar m tn I've always had this since birth, but my right iris is not perfectly round. It's almost like there is a small chunk missing. Whenever I've been to the opticians, they have taken rather a long time examining it and obviously find it interesting but I have no idea what it is??? It on the opposite side to my tear duct and doesn't have anything around it. My iris has a very clear line, there's just a bit missing?!? Any information would be greatly welcomed!
Avatar f tn From reading articles about blunt trauma to the eyeball,they say that trauma can change the color of the iris ,how does this happen? Does the whole of the iris change a different color ,like blue to brown or vice versa? Does it turn the iris color darker or lighter? Is this something to do with the pigments?
Avatar f tn If you were to constantly shine a bright light from a mobile phone torch close to the iris ,could the heat and light have an effect on the pigments (melanin) in the iris causing the iris to turn darker in color, in the same way sunlight can effect the pigments (melanin) in the iris
Avatar f tn Get an independent second or third opinion from a different surgery. Iris hooks don't usually tear the iris and small iris tears are usually neither painful nor blurry. What does the surgeon say is the problem?
Avatar f tn The picture is not well focused but statistically its likely a iris frckle (iris nevus), could also be ectropion uvie where pigment on back side of iris gets turned out.
Avatar f tn the iris was reacting normally to light after trauma.used atropine for 10 days.it has been 7 days since i stopped today.The iris is still very dilated but reacts very slightly to light.the doctor did say that there were tiny tears to the iris so it might never get back to the right size.my question is if the iris was the right size after trauma and was reacting fine to light is this still atropine effects or has the muscle somehow got damaged later?
Avatar n tn Anyone that would have surgery inside the eye just to effect a cosmetic change of iris is on a fools mission. (iris without color albino is completely different as is an iris damaged or torn by trauma).
Avatar n tn He is probably losing a little pigment on the iris making them a little more pale and less vibrant in color and the peripheral cornea near the limbus tends to collect some iris color is fading a little and gaining a slight bluish tint. The color of the iris is not changing however. It is totally totally normal is some people and nothing to be concerned about.
Avatar n tn Since your problem is on the iris the eye MD needs to see the iris before its dilated. Usually Eye MD sees after. The lesion will be hidden and hard to evaluate after its dilated. So look first, then they can dilate for complete medical eye exam. Think of it like a fan with a design on it.
233488 tn?1310693103 No the artifical intraocular implants designed to replace the iris or huge tears in the iris in cases of severe trauma or a disease called aniridea have been fully tested and approved and are totally different.
Avatar n tn One morning when I looked closely at a mirror I saw some brown oval shapes in my iris, both of them they are a darker shade of brown than my iris and seem to only be outside the small ring around my pupil. The ovals don't completely for a ring so I'm worried that this might mean I need to see a doctor. Is this normal? or should i go seea doctor immediately.

Avatar m tn Upon closer examination I realized that half of my Iris appeared to have lost its color. Instead of it being brown with black lines half appear a to be hazy clear with a grayish color. I also saw that when I focused in on that eye that my Iris appeared to slide so that only a quarter appeared clear and when I relaxed my focus that it returned to half of my Iris being clear. It seems best comparable to the waning and waxing of the moon.
Avatar f tn No it cannot, exposed light not effect pigmentation of retina, choroid, iris. Prolonged sun exposure can cause pigment in macula and increase risk of macular degeneration. It can also change the pigmentation of the skin.
Avatar m tn ve seen or iridology websites these psora spots. they are iris freckles and iris nevi.
Avatar f tn Hello, Im 32 years old. I have dark brown eyes but I have a blue/green ring around my iris of both eyes. My 2 year old daughter has the exact same color contrast around her iris as I do. What does it mean?
Avatar n tn t see anything far away (used to be farsighted), prolapsed iris, and what feels like pink eye. What is the surgery like to fix the iris problem, and if I don't have it done, will it affect my eyesight in the future? I think it is like having an astigmatism, because I still have significant glare after 7 weeks. thanks, I am at my wits end. I am only 52 and would like to see better.
Avatar m tn In June of 2009 I began feeling a foreign body sensation in my right eye and in bright sunlight could see a wrinkle leading from the caruncle/bulbar area of the eye up towards the iris, but stopping AT the iris. I experience the foreign body sensation daily and sometimes it creates outright pain. I realize it probably rubs on my lower lid and also disrupts my tear film thus causing more discomfort. I saw two doctors - one said not to worry about the wrinkling as it is "normal.
