Ring around the iris

Hello, Im 32 years old. I have dark brown eyes but I have a blue/green ring around my iris of both eyes. My 2 year old daughter has the exact same color contrast around her iris as I do. What does it mean?

I and all 4 of my siblings were born with varying degrees of brown eyes. All have a blue ring around our iris.  Only 2 of us were glasses. We have no eye defects. You are fine. It is just a variation of brown eye color.

Probably normal.  If concerned see an EyeMD.
