Good day. The condition that your doctor is concerned about is likely to be Wilson's disease , which can be one of the secondary causes for nonalcoholic fatty liver dsiease. It can cause the brown copper ring deposit around the cornea called Kayser-Fleisher ring.

When it comes to cornea brown deposits, there will be also a list of possible oral medications which can cause a whorl like brown deposit on cornea. Such as indomethacin, amiodarine, chloroquine ( provided you are on medicine with underlying disease).


I hope my answer has solved your doubt. thanks .
