A limbal ring is a dark circle around your outer iris. See below for examples. Then let's see how prominent they are.
@CinnamonGirlE Yep. It gives my otherwise quite blue eyes a slightly greyer appearance until you take a closer look.
@CinnamonGirlE The camera doesn't pick it up as well as when I look in the mirror, but it's there.
@stueytheround
I see it though. They can sometimes fade as we age. Your looks pretty prominent.
@CinnamonGirlE My husband does not have a limbal ring, I do, and both our kids do. Fun with genetics! 🎉
@CinnamonGirlE any bonus points for dark circles under my eyes? 😂
@mikeharmanos not quite, lol.
Dunno — but I’ll let you know/vote when I get out of bed, Cinni. Geez. 😏🤣
@InUnfunky I have been up since 3 am 😜😂
Shit, I dunno how you (and @JoyfullyDazed too) do it without killing somebody. It’s a testament to your strength and patience, I’m sure. XO 😁
Did you retire at your usual “respectable” hour, tho? 🤔😉
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed
I will be ready to pass out tonight at 7. Or maybe have a second night like this. There is no rhyme or reason. Thank goodness I am not working!
I recall once, maybe twice that you were up fairly late (for you) as your caffeine intake had exceeded usual limits. 😏
7pm for me will be W Masshole Dinner Rush number 3. 😎
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed
Yes. My sleep gets out of whack here and there. I've learned to flow with it.
Number 3! How many are there?
They’re pretty consistent — 5, 6, 7, 8. The people of Greenfield DO love them some burgers, wings, tempeh or tofu wraps, and locally-produced beers n’ ciders.
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed what's not to love? Especially when someone else makes and serves them?
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed
This looks good.
💙
@InUnfunky @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed
Omg baba ghanoush for todays special?!?! ...did you have to put that out there. I'll have the shrimp dish too tyvm.
I'm starving lol
@KazzyH @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed
Yes, I can't linger on it either for that reason. But if i were closer by?
@KazzyH @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed
I'm sorry, Kaz!
The baba g needs mo' tahini.
The shrimp n' pesto pasta is acceptable. Hope that alleviates your hunger a bit...heh
(Can you feel the day prep/night cooks schism? It's real. 😉)
😎
@InUnfunky @CinnamonGirlE @JoyfullyDazed
...Reads co-so food. 🐽 finds herself in a market. See what y'all do to me?
Ring is beautiful. Do you have one?
This is all part of Cinni’s conspiracy to scan our retinas. I’ll not show you my ugly sky-blue eyes! 😱
Go to bed, C — you’re sleep-deprived.
😉❤️😁
@InUnfunky @LnzyHou
You aren't wrong. On the sleep deprived part.
Now shhh, my sinister plan to scan all "Retinas of CoSo" is getting blown up! 🤫
Lucky you. Sooooo pretty.
@InUnfunky
Yes, Me too! 😉
Yup!
My ring is dark grey-blue, most of my iris is light grey-green, and then I the ring around my pupil is the same color as the limbal ring.
@tyghebright love it! Eyes are so miraculous and everybody's are different.
Weirdly mine is gray like my hair! Very light and barely noticeable. I swear they used to be brown like a bit darker than my eyes.
@j0n
Pretty eyes
@CinnamonGirlE Upon seeing an option for "I used to have one" I thought "I will go check!"
I do not have a visible limbal ring any more.
I do have the beginnings of cataracts in both eyes, however! That's new - they weren't present at my last eye exam.
I wonder how long it would have been before I noticed, if you hadn't asked! : )
@AskTheDevil
Apparently they can sometimes fade as we get older:
