: : Can someone tell me if having a gray circle around the iris has to do with high cholesterol? I have heard that it is found in those with inherited high cholesterol. Does anybody know? Thanks

: dear priscilla, a grey circle around the iris of the eye can also indicate lead poisoning?do you work in an environment where lead emissions occur such as in the manufacture of lead batteries,or a garage, indoor car park etc. these are just some of the possibilities. michael
