Ring around the iris

From The Loh Down:
A limbal ring is a dark circle around the iris -- the colored part of the eye. Because
limbal rings diminish with age, they're more COMMON in young, healthy people, and
more VISIBLE in those with light-colored eyes. University of California, Irvine, psychology
graduate student Darren Peshek takes it one step further. He says limbal rings give
people an automatic way to judge each other's facial attractiveness.
