eyes checked.\r\nFor example, severely dry eyes may be a sign of rheumatoid arthritis.\r\nExceedingly-high cholesterol in the human body may present itself as a white, gray or blue ring formed around the iris.\r\nDamage to your retina may be an\r\nearly indicator of nerve damage \r\nrelated to diabetes.\r\nA recent study suggests the \r\nretina could help determine our \r\nbody's actual biological age.\r\nThe retina offers a unique, accessible 'window' to evaluate underlying pathological processes of... diseases that are associated with increased risks of mortality. , Dr. Mingguang He, professor of ophthalmic epidemiology \r\nat the University of Melbourne, via CNN.\r\nResearchers reportedly gathered data from the retinal images of over 130,000 people participating in the long-term \r\nU.K. BioBank government study.\r\nAccording to CNN, the study found a two percent increase in the risk of death for each year of difference between one's chronological age and biological age found in the retina.\r\nThe study notes that the wider the gap in actual age and biological age, the higher the risk of contracting a deadly illness.\r\nThe really unique aspect of this paper is using that
