Large Iris Ring

Large Iris Ring is a term used in medicine to refer to the part of the iris that lies outside the pupil. This is the area of ​​the iris that does not participate in the formation of the pupil and has no pigment.

Normally, the iris of the eye should be uniformly colored brown. However, some people may experience a deviation from the norm, for example when the iris has a lighter or darker shade. In this case, the iris ring may be noticeable against the background of the rest of the iris.

A large iris ring can also be associated with various eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment and others. With these diseases, the iris can change its color and shape, which can lead to a change in the size of the large iris ring.

Additionally, a large iris ring can be found in people who wear contact lenses or glasses. These objects can cause irritation to the iris of the eye, which can lead to changes in the color and shape of the iris.

If you notice that your iris ring has changed significantly, you need to consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment. Your doctor can examine your eye to determine the cause of the change in iris ring size. Depending on the results of the examination, the doctor may prescribe treatment or additional tests.
