Circle of the Eye

The "Circle of the Eye" typically refers to the limbal ring, a dark ring around the iris of the eye. It is a natural feature that enhances the contrast between the iris and the sclera (white of the eye). The prominence of this ring can be associated with health, youth, and vitality, and it often influences how expressive or striking an eye appears. The ring’s thickness and darkness vary among individuals and can diminish with age or certain health conditions. It plays a subtle but significant role in eye aesthetics and perception.
