I don't know if I have Central Heterochromia but the center of my iris is an amber-ish color. My family says I have very beautiful eyes, I don't think I do, I prefer green eyes or people who have Complete Heterochromia.
I have grey eyes with yellow around my pupils central heterochromia. Didn't know my eyes were so cool lmao. I'm always told I have brown eyes but when you look close up in a brighter light, My left eye has a part on the outside of my iris not touching the pupil were its blue with some yellow flecks and my right eye has a greenish-blue color to the right in the middle of my iris not touching the pupil or the edge near the sclera.
My eyes are sea green, with a bluish-green ring at edge, and a touch of yellow around the pupil. When I see people with fake green contacts, I laugh and say why? I had light brown eyes as a child, which then a few years later looked like amber, it then became hazel central heterochromia with light brown closer to the iris and green at the outer rings. I read somewhere people with hazel eyes must have both parents with hazel eyes or europen ancestry.
Is that true? My natural pigmentation is turquoise but my eyes can change from green to blue to "black" to brown to hazel to amber and then back to turquoise. My dad is the same. So how hare is turquoise and how rare is my eye changing colour like that? I was born in Cavan in Ireland and my dad is from Dublin. I have light green or gray eyes with brown flecks. The color changes. Some say I have green eyes or hazel eyes.
Ive traced my family history to the northern border of England on both sides of my moms family. I have Blue with a tinch of brown in the left eye and black with a tinch of blue in the right eye. What is called? I have no clue what my eye colour is. Some say greyish some just say blue but i kinda think their smokey blue?.. I have green eyes with a dark blue tint on the outside edges and people always say they can look into my eyes and see themselves get swallowed up.
Talking about violet eyes There was a single person in this world that hat those kind of eyes, that person was Elizabeth Taylor, a really good actor. My daughter has blue eyes but there's something special about her eyes i've never seen before she has Center heterochromia in both of her eyes they both are blue with a really light blue or gray ring around her pupils they've been that way since birth.
I have four colors starts with grey on the out side then blue then green with yellow in the center. But i didnt see any about them.
I never knew why, but now I do. I think I have Central Heterochromia. I have green hazel eyes Everyone says they're a light blue so i'm actually not sure but they look pretty grey to me-.
Thats Central Heterochromia right? I have Amber eyes but they are dark unless in the sun witch get mistake e's for brown or hazel. Mine are sort of hazel sometimes other time they are blue sometimes they have a little red in them.
A couple times I have seen them with almost all the colors of the rainbow, it had red, orange, yellow, green blue. The only thing it was missing was purple and pink! My eyes also change color based on my mood but sometimes they are different colors. What is wrong with my eyes?!? Marine Biology. Electrical Engineering. Computer Science. Medical Science.

Eye Color Cause s Heterochromia Increased or decreased pigmentation in one iris or part of an iris. Anisocoria One pupil is larger than the other making one eye look darker.
Red or Pink Little to no melanin due to albinism. Violet Lack of melanin mixed with light reflecting off of red blood vessels. Grey Very little melanin with a high amount of collagen in the stroma. Green A little melanin, a large amount of lipochrome, and Rayleigh scattering of light. Amber A little melanin with a large amount of lipochrome. Hazel Melanin concentrated in the outer portion of the iris causing a multicolored appearance that usually ranges from copper to green depending on the light.

But even darker are the eyes of model Nyakim Gatwech , whose incredibly dark brown eyes match her gorgeous, dark brown complexion. When it comes to lighter brown eyes, actress Julia Roberts has irises closer to the color of a latte rather than an espresso, as does Winona Ryder.
The list goes on and on, so it's quite clear that there's a wealth of diversity in each unique set of brown eyes. Our understanding of genetics changed pretty dramatically in the late s and early s. As recently as , it was widely-believed that two parents with blue eyes couldn't have a child with brown eyes, according to Science Daily.
But that changed when scientists realized that eye color is determined by 16 genes instead of two genes, according to an article published by The Tech Museum of Innovation. And as it turns out, blue-eyed parents can indeed have a brown-eyed child.
Chances are some parents already learned that already on their own, which had to be an interesting experience! Conversely, two brown-eyed parents can also have a blue-eyed child, according to another article published by the museum.
Additionally, that phenotype can stay dormant for generations, and later surface when two carriers of the right genes for blue eyes reproduce. And it's not just limited to blue eyes, either, as brown-eyed parents can also have children with green or hazel eyes as well.
Isn't genetics wild? Speaking of genetics and inherited traits, heterosexual, blue-eyed men have dating preferences that are a little bit different from everyone else.
According to a study published in the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology , men with cerulean peepers prefer that their mates have the same, as they find blue-eyed women more attractive than anyone else. And interestingly enough, blue-eyed women do not feel the same way as they expressed no preference for eye color in the study.
The same is true for both brown-eyed men and women, who found other eye colors equally attractive as well. So what's going on with blue-eyed men? The researchers in the study theorize that this preference is the result of what they call paternal anxiety, which is when men question whether or not their child is biologically theirs.
Since blue-eyed parents tend to have blue-eyed children though other colors are possible , blue eyes function as assurance of paternity — and the fidelity of their partner. If you're a brown-eyed person who is black, latinx, Asian, or of Middle Eastern descent, chances are you were born with the brown eyes that you have today. But if you're a white person with coffee-colored peepers, it's likely that when you were born, you first stared out into the world with blue eyes, according to an article in Live Science.
The reason? When you're born, you don't have an abundance of melanin in your body, so there's a lack of pigment in your irises which makes them appear blue.
Maybe that's where the expression "baby blues" comes from? After about six months or so, however, your body will ramp up its melanin production, and your true phenotype will start to express itself, according to McGill University. So if your genes determine that you should have brown or hazel or green eyes, that's when the change will manifest in most cases. Sometimes it can take years for the change to occur, even into adulthood.
Although having brown eyes is a beautiful thing, there are a few disadvantages that come with having this dark phenotype. For example, according to an article published in The Journal of Pain , women with brown eyes are more sensitive to pain than their light-eyed green, blue, gray counterparts. It seems odd that eye-color would be in any way connected to how well a person can tolerate pain, but science indeed confirms that it is.
So how exactly did the researchers come to this conclusion? They surveyed 58 women at a hospital, all of them expectant mothers, and all who were planning to give birth there. They divided them into two groups: 34 in the group with light-colored eyes, and 24 in the group with dark-colored eyes. Their objective was to monitor postpartum and antepartum pain, sleep, coping behavior, and mood. After the researchers finished the study, they concluded that women with light eyes had an easier time during labor and delivery than women with dark eyes.
Additionally, light-eyed women turned out to be less susceptible to anxiety and depression. In addition to being more sensitive to pain, as well as more prone to depression and anxiety after birth than lighter-eyed folks, having brown eyes unfortunately comes with one more disadvantage.
According to a study in the American Journal of Ophthalmology , brown-eyed individuals are more prone to developing cataracts, which are cloudy areas in the eye that can cause vision impairment, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Science is a weird and fascinating world. Gary Heiting is a licensed optometrist and the senior editor of an eye care website called All About Vision. Melanin absorbs light, so when there is a lot of it present, it can take in more and appears darker. Hence, why darker hair, skin color, and yes, even eyes, have larger amounts of melanin present. Heiting adds, "It's an interaction between the amount of melanin and the architecture of the iris itself. It's a very complex architecture.
The color brown is a result of a high concentration of melanin in the iris, causing more light to be absorbed and less light to be reflected. People with brown eyes make up between 55 and 79 percent of the world and are the most common eye color. Green is the rarest eye color. Blue eyes are said to have the least amount of pigment of all the eye colors. So, although a baby's eyes may appear blue when they're born, they will probably develop more melanin later on, causing their eyes to become darker in color.
Brown eyes and hazel eyes are normally roped into the same category, when, in fact, they are quite different. The melanin levels of brown and hazel eye colors are very unique compared to other eye colors like bue.
Both hazel and brown eyes have a normal level of melanin presence at their back layer. But at the front layer, brown eyes have a heavy melanin presence of brown, while hazel eyes have a higher presence of green. Therefore, people with hazel eyes have two dominant pigments eumelanin and pheomelanin fighting each other, which causes the color to constantly change.
For example, people with brown eyes are less likely to develop macular degeneration due to age when compared to people with light eyes. People with brown eyes also have a lower risk of having type 1 diabetes or melanoma of the eye in comparison to lighter-eyed individuals.
