Daniela Ruah has an eye condition referred to as the nevus of Ota.

Back in 2011, Daniela spoke to Esquire about her eye situation, joking that it was once caused by means of a childhood accident earlier than opening up about the real reason.

"It's a birthmark called nevus of Ota. It covers the whole white of my eye and darkens it," she explained. "The square of the eye, the white part, is completely dark on my right eye, not just the iris. It's very common in Asian people but quite rare in Caucasians. It doesn't affect my vision or anything like that."

According to Daniela, her birthmark has now not affected her career.

"It starts the conversation, if anything. But I don't think it's ever gotten me a job or lost me a job," she added. "When we're shooting, sometimes they need to light my eye in a slightly different way. Otherwise, it looks like there's a big shadow over it. But that's pretty much it."

The nevus of Ota has no identified reason.

The nevus of Ota, sometimes called oculodermal melanocytosis, is described as a situation where hyperpigmentation occurs across the eye and infrequently in the eye itself.

However, the precise reason behind the condition is unknown, according to WebMD. People with nevus of Ota have an higher possibility of glaucoma and the condition may also result in skin cancer, even if rare.

For Daniela, her birthmark is her trademark and he or she hates when it's Photoshopped. "It drives me crazy," she said. "This is my eye, my little trademark."

And fans agree. "So sad to see someone edit Daniela Ruah's eye to hide her 'nervus of ota' condition, like why do that? She's beautiful as she is," one person wrote.
