Which is exactly the point. The limbal ring serves as an honest signal of youth and health -- desirable qualities, reproductively speaking. The ring fades with age and with medical problems. It's thickest from infancy through the early twenties. A thick, dark limbal ring may make us appear younger. It makes the whites of the eyes whiter. This might be why so many people think light eyes are so sexy: the limbal ring, when present, is more prominent. I don't seem to have any (I'm sure it's impossible to literally not have any, they're just too faint to see), which according to the article doesn't bode well for me, for many reasons What are you're thoughts? Feel free to share links to your eyeball I think they've taken a very black & white view of what is attractive, not everyone finds the same things attractive...but then, I would say that, wouldn't I? As for age being a factor, I don't think I've ever had any, but I can't be 100% sure. _________________ Goth.nets resident Atlantean (Thanks to Nephele) David Bowie - All the Madmen lastfm

They don't show up well in photographs, though. _________________ - The Quacky Editor - Starting a new life with Letalis Senium <3<3<3

I have a little darker green around the edge of the iris, but not noticeably so, and I don't think that counts as a limbal ring. I shall have to see if I can get a pic up any time soon. _________________ Death is life's way of telling you you're fired. Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups.

I tried twice to take a picture of my eyeball, but each time the flash made me squint and I went OW! I'm seeing spots in front of my eyes now. So, y'all will just have to take my word for it that I've got those ringy things. -- Nephele Who, upon first seeing the subject heading for this topic, thought this was going to be about some new kind of piercing.

I thought the same, Nephele. Who needs a new piercing when we have such think rings in our eyes? Okay who am I kidding, where's the nearest tattoo parlor! _________________ "May I have the Enlightenment of Buddha, the Peace of Gandhi, the Balance of Loazi, the Confidence of Hypatia, the Logic of Dawkins, and the Science of Sagan to guide me in all things." -Midi

My mother's psychiatrist she met the other day (long story but she's seeking help after a manic episode) refused to believe she was in her 40s. My mom has bright green eyes with a super dark ring like this. Interesting. ^_^ _________________ “[...]When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.” (-Robert Fulghum)
