Okay, I am 20 years old and have dark brown eyes. This morning I noticed that my left eye was hurting, like under the upper lid. Mostly noticed it when I would rub my eye. The pain went a way after a bit though. I sleep with my hand under my face, so I just thought that maybe I had my eye crushed up against my hand while I was sleeping and that's why it was hurting. However, I decided to look at my eye in the mirror to see if it was red, etc. And I looked and noticed that just around the top part of my iris, there is a grey/black discoloration. It kind of looks like my iris(dark brown, but looks black) is fading outwards. Hope that makes sense. It's not around the whole iris just the top part/edge of it. It's also like that on my right eye as well. My vision is fine, it's not blurred and haven't noticed a sudden change. I am nearsighted with astigmatism. I work at home and am on the computer ALOT every day. And I haven't been wearing my contacts nor my glasses lately(I know, very stupid and bad of me). I'm really worried that I have some type of disease. There is no redness in my eyes, just the fading grey/black color that I mentioned earlier. I never noticed this before and I have looked at my eyes alot, so I don't think it's just a reflection from the mirror. I'm a hypochondriac so I'm extremely worried about this. And what makes it even worse is I don't have any health or eye insurance. So it's not so easy for me to just get up and go get it checked, will have to borrow some money to do that. Which is what I'm going to do. Anyone have any idea on what this could be? Please help.
