The eyes are often described as the window to a person's soul, but did you also know that they are good indicators as to the state of a person's health?

For example, a white ring around your iris or white lumps around the skin of your eye can be a sign of high cholesterol due to fatty deposits, whilst a yellow tinge to the white of your eye could indicate jaundice or a liver problem.

Severe droopy eyes could show a stroke or a muscular problem due to straining or paler skin on the inside of the lids could show that you're anaemic.
