It was probably just a reflection from their blue hair.
Reply:It is definitely not cataracts, which are cloudy/milky looking patches in the middle. You see this phenomenon in brown-eyed people. It's pigment failure in the iris. Nothing dangerous.
Reply:This is called Arcus Senilis. It is due to cholesterol deposition.
