EYES

WHAT TO LOOK FOR Your eyes reveal a great deal about your health. A white or grey ring around the outer edge of the iris can indicate that your blood cholesterol level is higher than it should be. “This occurs when fat deposits around the cornea,” says GP Dr Ellie Cannon. WHAT TO DO “A blood test will reveal whether or not you have high cholesterol. In some cases, this can be improved by following a low-fat diet. But if you already have a cholesterol ring, it’s likely the problem is hereditary and will only respond to medication,” Dr Cannon adds.
