Iris

The iris sphincter muscle, also known as the pupillary sphincter or sphincter pupillae, is a muscle located in the colored part of the eye called the iris. The sphincter muscle fibers are located near the pupillary margin and are slightly anterior to the pigmented epithelium of the iris.

The iris sphincter muscle (pupillary sphincter, pupillary constrictor, circular muscle of iris, circular fibers) is a muscle in the part of the eye called the iris. It encircles the pupil of the iris, appropriate to its function as a constrictor of the pupil.

Upon death the cornea slowly becomes hazy. After demise, pupils are usually mid- dilated (a.k.a. ‘cadaveric position’), and in some cases they can be slightly dilated, because of the relaxation of the iris muscles and later they can become slightly constricted with the onset of rigor mortis of the constrictor muscles.

In normal real life, that’s exactly what pupils do, though they may also respond to a person’s emotional state. Humans never really have slit pupils, though, of course. The thing is, small slit pupils make people think of predatory animals, which most people find scary.

Slit pupils allow the iris to contract or expand more dramatically- a human’s round pupil can expand to allow light to be 10-fold more intense compared to its smallest size, while a cat’s pupil expands to 135-fold intensity.

It’s caused by a problem with a chromosome, so people are born with it. It gets its name because one of the most common symptoms is that the eyes look similar to a cat’s. This is because there’s a hole in the iris (the colored part of your eye). Only between 1 in 50,000 and 1 in 150,000 people in the world have it.

Keyhole pupil; Iris defect. Coloboma of the iris is a hole or defect of the iris of the eye. Most colobomas are present since birth (congenital). A cat eye is a type of coloboma. Any defect in the iris that allows light to enter the eye, other than through the pupil, is called a coloboma.

An Adie pupil is a benign tonic pupil typically associated with sectoral paralysis of the iris sphincter muscle. ICE syndrome is associated with iris atrophy, glaucoma, and corneal edema; here, there were 2 of the 3 findings. An unusual shape to an Adie-like pupil should suggest the ICE syndrome.

Broken Iris is a Sacramento based band that originally formed in 2005. The Sacramento-based band played an all-too-short set, including the song that won the vote, Beautiful Girl, on the side stage to a large, enthusiastic crowd.

A separation of the iris like this “can cause multiple pupils, leading to monocular double vision, blurry vision or photophobia” (an inability to tolerate light), they told CNN in an email.

Iritis is the inflammation of the colored part of your eye (iris). It can cause symptoms such as eye pain, light sensitivity, headache, and decreased vision. It can lead to serious problems such as severe vision loss and even blindness.

If the iris is so badly damaged that it cannot be repaired, an iris prosthesis can be used. Iris prosthetics involves inserting a custom made artificial iris that is carefully matched to the color of the other eye.

Also known as anterior uveitis, the symptoms of traumatic iritis typically include eye pain, severe redness, and blurry vision in the affected eye. If not diagnosed or treated in a timely manner, traumatic iritis can lead to permanent injury of the eye, reduced vision, and the development of glaucoma.

In more significant pokes to the eye, blood can fill up the front of the eye, over the pupil or iris. This is a medical emergency. These types of eye injuries are serious and can lead to permanent loss of vision.

Although customized intraocular replacements for a damaged iris have been available for some time outside the United States, it’s only recently that the CustomFlex ArtificialIris, created by HumanOptics in Germany, became the first stand-alone prosthetic iris to receive approval from the U.S. Food and Drug …

Diluted honey can be used as drops in the eyes, to gradually lighten the eye color. While eye color doesn’t change completely, say from black to blue, the color does lighten and become brighter and lighter, with daily use of honey to naturally lighten the eyes.

Blue light also reaches deeper into the eye, causing damage to the retina. In fact, Blue light can be so detrimental to the eyes, that several medical studies, including a study by Molecular Vision in 2016, have found that it can lead to macular and retinal degenerations.

It’s not unusual for blue-tinted rings to appear around your iris — the colored part of your eye. This condition is called corneal arcus. There may be a link between early onset corneal arcus (also called arcus senilis) and cardiovascular disease.

Most of us are born with limbal rings, but they tend to thin out with age, medical conditions, and the general vicissitudes of living. The younger you are, the more prominent your limbal rings are likely to be. In rare cases, some darker-eyed people may have blue limbal rings.

In most people, the answer is no. Eye color fully matures in infancy and remains the same for life. But in a small percentage of adults, eye color can naturally become either noticeably darker or lighter with age.
