Why do some people's eyes have an orange/gold/yellow ring around the pupil?

I need to know for a school project and it's usually the people with green, blue or gray eyes that have this. Also, my eyes are green but around the pupil it's noticeably orange...it's really odd because I don't really know what my eye color is because of this. Is it orange? Is it green? Thanks!

  • Oh people, you have no idea. Iridology is not crap it was taught on Cambridge as well before they this ancient technique was replaced by pharmacy and all modern diagnostic methods like CT and MRI which can only tell you what is going on in your body when you already have a disease or another problems. These methods can barely tell you what problems you are going to have if you for example won't stop eating crap corporation supermarket poor nutrition value food. This would not be so popular for economy or pharmacy would be? Just think about that. Yes I am iridologist and I can tell you it works ancient Egyptians knew it too, that's why they wrote the longest (150 m) papyrus about this science..it's in Kairo you can look it up.

    Now back to the question orange is indeed problem with digesting carbohydrates. People usually feel heavy after high carb intake (more than others). The reasons can be many. Something is in the way of digesting these carbs..it can be helliobacter infection in stomach or it can be pancreas not providing enough of enzyme or it can also be liver not doing it's job of breaking down and maintaining the level of sugars. If the orange ring is just around (and very close) the pupil area your problems are originated in the stomach itself. If you want to know more just email me.

    Have a nice day.

  • Without researching anything I'll just take a guess. If I remember right there was pigmentation inside the eye anterior (the retina is posterior) so that the light that entered through the pupil would be more focused on the retina/fovea instead of bouncing around the inside of the eye. Since blue and green eyes are on people with naturally less pigmented skin I guess that there is also less pigment inside the eye, which means their eyewalls have a higher albedo that allows some of the light that enters the eye to scatter back out of the pupil instead of being mostly absorbed...especially since orange/amber light has a longer wavelength and would get scattered less than blue/violet light.

    Now I'll submit this answer and try to research if I was right or if I am a moron ...brb

    • Hmm, that actually makes sense

    • I'm finding all these sites talking about iridology. Apparently it is an "alternative medicine science" (which probably means it is BS) that says that certain discolorations of the iris mean different systemic pathologies .... orange means problems with your liver. I think they are mistaking that with jaundice, which is yellowing of the sclera (white part of the eyeball) from billirubin, which is crap left over from dead red blood cells that the liver is supposed to remove.

    • Yeah, I think they are mistaking it with jaundice too. I just don't understand why people with brown eyes don't have that at all. I have yet to meet someone with brown eyes who has a different colored ring around their pupil.

  • Hey! My eyes are dark grey, but I've got pale yellow circle around the pupil.
    It's called central dichromia. Dichromia is a condition, when the eyes have more than one colour. Some people have a green and a brown eye, for example. Or black eyes with blue spots. Those are another examples of dichromia.
    Blue and grey eyecolours aren't caused by pigmentation, rather by the eye's microstructure. When you see a blue flower or a blue butterfly, there's no way to extract the pigment from them, since they don't have any.
    Green eyecolour is actually a blue or grey eye with thin film of pigment. Our pigment is dark brown, but in a thin film it appears yellow.
    With central dichromia, it's usually because the film is more concentrated around the center of the iris.
    I've watched a video where they said that central dichromia is the rarest eye colour, but I live in a country where nearly everyone has it...
    Another dichromia-prone people are albinos, as they may have no pigment in the eyes. That makes the basic colour of their eyes red.
    If you mix the red with a thin layer of "blue", it becomes purple or violet. There may also be a ring of more pronounced blue in the eye.
    If you mix red with brown, or yellow, it becomes orange.
    Hope this helps, and sorry about my English 😅

  • My 2 month old has golden rings around his pupils and his eyes are brown. His doctor brushed it off like there's nothing to worry about but I'm afraid it may be the result of an underlying condition because I've never seen this before, especially in African Americans. Should I press him harder to get him to test him for something or am I just worrying for nothing?

  • Im not really sure what it means I have a orange ring around my eyes and my eyes change colers but im going to say its because something maybe happened to them when they were little I know it might not make much scence but think about it k? thanks

    • I have the same! My eye color is switching from blue to green and back and I have a gold/orange circle around my pupils. (I actually love it)

  • I can't really give an answer I have 3 distinct eye colors that all stand out my Iris is a pale blue color then there is a forest green around my pupil and around the forest green is a striation circle of pure gold I have looked and never found any other eyes quite like mine also my eyes are hazel. I have yet to find out what causes my yellow my best guess is the blue and green colliding and forming the circle of gold on the outer area of the green area while still being in the main color blue.

  • It's their Rinnegan.

  • what ever color your eye is mostly, is your eye color. I have several friends with the yellow ring. the rest of their eye is blue/green though.
