Brief Answer:
Can you capture this with a camera?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your description alone doesn’t allow us much room to adequately weigh in. Would you kindly try to obtain an image of this eye and upload to me for review and guidance? Without a review, am afraid the response would be generic and not applicable to him.

To upload an image, simply click on the link to upload a file and follow the instructions. If this proves difficult, please send the image by mail to YYYY@YYYY and request that the image should be uploaded to your query.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.

Waiting.

I can't take a photo because my brother lives in another state. The reflection was just a flash and not apparent when looking at his eye directly.
