You'd, in fact, go out of your way to help the ones in need. You're determined and self-confident, yet find it difficult to express yourself. Flaw: Practicality tends to take a backseat in front of love and care for your dear ones. A beautiful mixture of brown and grey, you're one of the elegant ones. You're positive, fun-loving and always up for adventures.
You tend to go with the flow, adapt to situations easily and most often, get bored with monotony. A courageous and brave-heart, you love to try new things. You have a mischievous and sensual side too. You put on a strong demeanour, but are actually quite gentle and wise. You don't generally fool around, and take everything, from professional work to love and romance, very seriously. If you have dark grey eyes, you're either an exceptionally well-balanced person or are two-faced, that is you're different with different people, based on whichever is convenient for you.
If it's light grey, then you might have to work a little harder in asserting yourself, and be a little less on-guard all the time. Flaw: If you have dark grey eyes, you tend to be very difficult to trust. In dark eyes, melanin the pigment that gives eyes their color is plentiful in the front and back layers of the iris. This melanin then absorbs any light that hits it. In lighter eyes, there is less melanin, so the light goes through the front layer of the iris, reflecting off the melanin in the back of the eye.
When it hits the stroma, which is filled with collagen, the light bends and gives off a blueish hue. Scientists think that dark gray eyes might be the result of a thin layer of melanin in the front layer of the iris, causing a sort of cloud in front of the bent light which then dims the blue color.
They also think that light gray eyes might be caused by eyes having very little melanin in the front layer of the iris. While having gray eyes might seem lucky because they're so rare, having gray eyes isn't necessarily a good thing. There are some risks associated with having eyes of this hue. If you have gray eyes, you should take special care to protect your eyes from the glare of the sun.
The increased risk of cancer is because of the lack of pigment in the eye. Less pigment means less protection from the sun, which means people with gray eyes are at a greater risk for melanoma of the uvea the eye's middle layer.
Having a greater risk of cancer might sound scary, but fortunately this type of cancer is pretty rare. It affects roughly six in every million adults in the U. And hey, at least it's a good excuse to buy a new pair of shades!
While studies show that people with gray eyes may be more likely to develop uveal cancer, it's not all bad news. People with gray eyes are also less likely to have vitiligo. A study published in Nature Genetics and summarized by the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus website said that, in a study of 3, people, just 27 percent of vitiligo patients had blue or gray eyes, 30 percent had green or hazel eyes , and 43 percent had tan or brown eyes.
The autoimmune disease causes a person's immune system to attack their pigment cells. The lowered risk for vitiligo suggests that people with gray eyes may have a lower risk for a few other autoimmune diseases as people with vitiligo are at higher risk for a slew of other autoimmune diseases, including thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes, and lupus.
While having gray eyes doesn't mean you're immune, it may mean your chances of getting one of these diseases are lower. If you are one of the rare people on the planet who has gray eyes, you might find that you're more sensitive to light than your friends and family who have darker colored eyes.
It's not your imagination — there's a scientific explanation for why people with lighter eyes are more sensitive to bright light. According to Duke Health , melanin in eyes does more than just make eyes look darker. That pigmentation also helps protect eyes from the light. That's why people with light eyes are more likely to be bothered by harsh lighting, and might be inclined to shy away from going outside on a particularly sunny day. This sensitivity to light is called photophobia and it's not a very pleasant condition.
People with photophobia may have a mild reaction to light and simply squint when things are too bright for them, but they may also experience pain around the eyes when exposed to bright light. People with photophobia may also have trouble actually seeing or focusing.
Fortunately, the effects of photophobia are temporary. While the condition may be uncomfortable, it doesn't result in any permanent loss of vision. If you know a person with gray eyes who also happens to drink a bit more than average, it might have something to do with their genes.
According to a study published in Personality and Individual Differences via Psychology Today , people with light-colored eyes might be predisposed to drink more. Different eye colors are caused by different amounts of pigment.
Today, brown is the most common eye color worldwide. Scientists think that long ago when everyone lived in hot climates where it was sunny year-round everyone had brown eyes. Dark irises may have protected their eyes from being damaged by ultraviolet radiation and bright sunlight.
As people moved north, sun damage was less of a problem. Eye color became lighter, which may have made it easier to see better during the cold, dark winters. Europeans have the widest variety of eye colors. Their eyes range from dark brown to light blue. In general, they have the lightest eye colors. Hazel, green, and blue eyes are common in Central and South America and some parts of the Middle East.
According to World Atlas , eye color tends to fall into these percentages:. If you have heterochromia , all or part of one of your irises is a different color than the other one. It can be the result of:. Scientists used to think your eye color was determined by two eye color genes, one from each parent. Your eye color is determined by several genes that control melanin production in your iris.
Darker eyes have a lot of melanin, while light eyes have only a little. Melanin absorbs light. When an object absorbs light, it looks dark. Light reflected from your eye is from the blue part of the color spectrum. You strive to be taken seriously, yet you also keep your defenses up. Though it takes a while to break through your concerned, wary exterior, you care deeply for people who are able to burst through.
Hazel eyes are hard to describe — several people have their own definitions, though the hazel eyes are called so because of their resemblance to a hazelnut color. The Eye Doctor Guide describes hazel eyes as appearing to change color from green to brown, or as an iris that has two different colors.
For example, perhaps the ring near your pupil is green, but it fades to brown closer to the perimeter of the iris. This shade is uncommon, so people with hazel eyes are told from a young age that they are different and unique.
Even the colors of hazel eyes and the specifics surrounding them are unique to each person who has hazel eyes. As such, those with hazel eyes tend to be independent, confident, and spontaneous. The amount of melanin in the eye varies from person to person, so you can never pin down their personality, though a common theme seems to be a balanced personality that can sometimes be mysterious to read.
Matthew Leach of the University of South Australia claims that people with hazel eyes might have such mixed colors in their eyes due to materials from the bloodstream that were broken down because of liver imbalance. As such, people with hazel eyes might be more prone to digestive issues. You tend to be agreeable, assertive, and people look to you with confidence. The Charles University in Prague describes people with brown eyes as being generally very loyal, respectful, and gentle people, though certainly not submissive.
Do you disagree with that? Do you think of yourself as more of a cranky, easily agitated person? You may not be getting enough sleep! A study in the journal Chronobiology International revealed that people with brown eyes generally sleep two hours less than people with lighter eyes, and their sleep cycles tend to be poorer.
People with brown eyes generally have a harder time getting up in the morning. Please SHARE if you find these results fascinating, and if you don't see your eye color, keep reading!
