Hi
I have a 24 month old daughter who haven’t had any medical problem since birth. Recently on checking her eyes i noticed a brown ring around her iris (as seen on the attached image) and iam worried if this is a kayser-Freischer ring, an indication of a liver disease.

Yes it is kayser-Freischer ring
This could be wilson disease
I recommend serum bilirubin ,Serum aspartate transaminase ,
And Prothrombin time to confirm
Sorry posted to 2 parts by mistake
Good luck
It could be normal pigmentation.
How long have this been there?
Kayser-freicher rings are possible but needs to be related with other symptoms and genetic and family history as it is an inherited disorder.
Have an Ophthalmologist verify Kaysers, and an internist run a Wilson’s screening.

consult an opthalmologist immediately.
get liver function tests and ultrasound abdomen done.

KF ring for sure.

Do serum ceruloplasmin level and liver function test..
