Which Eye color do you find most attractive??? (ever seen someone with 2 different eye colors? ru-vid.com-RTsmjDQg0Q ) Also...did you spot the spelling error? 😆
My mother was born with violet eyes and then they went a crystal green. Dending on the sky or what colour she wears, they can also look blue or more grey. I was born with grey eyes, and now they are a combination of a moss green and a russet brown in the centre (central heterochromia), and I have a turquoise ring.
Thank you! I came to the comments to see all the chronically online AH takes of “my eyes are a color no one’s even heard of…” but as someone who has very light eyes that don’t work, I say this to people all the time. Yes, they are pretty, but I’ll take normal eyes that work over these any day. I’d be disabled in any other timeline and I’m a classical artist so that’s a major issue. I’d never trade my reality but light eyes just don’t work as well.
My optometrist once sent me to a specialist who told me, "You probably have always been told that you have brown/ hazel eyes, but they actually actually a really beautiful green." That was my best compliment ever.
I have Hazel eyes and sometimes people think I have green eyes.. but my eyes changes all the time so you never know what they’ll be..seems like my eyes have the green more often than the brown.. but sometimes they are brown and sometimes they are green with spikes of brown through them.. they also change different shades of green and probably the brown too.. sometimes they are dark and you can’t tell what color they are unless in a bright light..
@@moxymaxx5350 Same! This is because your eyes and the surrounding area are red after crying, and red is the complimentary color of green, so red brings out the green of your eyes more! That's why, if you have hazel eyes and want them to look more green, people suggest red/pink eye makeup or wearing those colors :) But for me, the best mix has been red eye makeup and a green shirt. My eyes looked like grass.
My grandmother has yellow eyes. Her irises are more yellow than gold. Several optometrists have commented on them being very rare, and the first time her primary optometrists saw her he freaked out about her eye color and said it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that he would ever see someone with her eye color.
My eyes are green, but turn yellow in the middle under certain lights. My co worker gasped one day because he had never seen yellow in someone's eyes before.
Did you hate them when you were a child? I definitely hated mine, I thought they were weird/creepy 😞 As an adult, though, I'm just glad to have eyes that work 🤷🏾♀️
Mine are emerald green, but when I wear blue clothes, they turn turquoise. Tried to get the police to write emerald green eyes in my new passport, but it didn't work. (🤭) Btw, my four children have from brown, hazel, to almost amber. My eldest son has hazel/amber to green..(mother is Romanian) me Viking😁
In grade school back in the 70’s (I was in about 3rd or 4th grade) we did a science class assignment where we wrote down our parents eye color and our eye color and talked about genes. My idiot teacher told me that my parents couldn’t be my parents because they both have brown eyes and I have blue eyes (not kidding, she actually was adamant to a 8-9 year old that they weren’t my parents based on her terrible understanding of the science lesson). I came home extremely upset and my parents had to go have a talk with the teacher and explain dominant/recessive alleles and of course that regardless of her faulty understanding of the science her behavior was highly inappropriate.
That's interesting. I, too, was told that it was "impossible" that I was my parents' child, even though my physical traits are a pretty good amalgam of them both. I was told this because my father has 'ice-blue' eyes, my mother has dark brown eyes, and I have 'light sea-green' eyes. Apparently, the belief is that it is genetically "impossible" for that to happen? But on my mother's side, my grandpa (Norwegian) has green eyes, and my grandma (Spaniard) has dark brown eyes...while on my father's side, my grandpa (Finn) has blue eyes, while my grandma (Finn/Swede) has dark 'sea-green' eyes. So...green eyes can also be recessive?
My father has brown eyes, mother has blue eyes and I have green and I was told that is not possible. My husband has hazel eyes and two of our children have blue eyes. What is funny is from my husband’s family out of a good 40+ people, not one of us has brown eyes.
I have violet eyes and for most of my life people have told me how unattractive and freaky they are. But there are a percentage of people that think albinism is the coolest thing and try and recreate the “look”. What people don’t understand is that albinism isn’t a “look” it’s a medical condition which causes loads of issues with eyes. I am legally blind and can’t open my eyes outside even when it’s dull because I have no pigment in body at all. Life is good but having albinism is hard too!
Thanks so much for sharing that! I have several patients with albinism or forms of ocular albinism. Perhaps some day I can do a dedicated video on the subject. Thanks so much for watching!!
@@DoctorEyeHealth That would be cool. It would be lovely for some of the myths surrounding albinism to be busted. It’s not just about having no/little pigment it’s about being gifted with eyes with a multitude of problems, off the scale painful photophobia and a society who don’t like difference. Most of us with albinism are fighters though - we have to be!
@@daisy9910that’s False. She had blue eyes, that in certain light made them appear violet. She was born with distichiasis, a genetic ‘disorder’ that produces an extra row of eyelashes though. Also making her eyes famous!
My eyes are usually various shades of blue but can change to hazel or green the odd day. The weirdest color that I have seen was an ice blue like a husky with blue eyes. That kind of freaked me out. I wonder what is behind the changing colors?
I have beautiful green eyes. I'm now 75 and ppl have been complimenting me all my life even now. I'm so blessed to have great eyesight. It doesn't matter what color your eyes are protect them!
Thank you for clearing up the “black eyes” condition. I remember people telling me I had black eyes as a kid and arguing that I have really dark brown eyes (not black). 🤦🏾♀️
I think there is nothing wrong with labelling them black. I have black eyes, and unless you put extreme bright light in front of them, you won't see any brown in it. Same for my hair. It's dark enough to appear black under most scenarios. It's also cultural and symbolic, we still talk about "white" and "black" people, when nobody has literally white, or black skin; it's either dark brown or pink/beige, but never actually black/white.
Same, especially when I could clearly see that they’re brown - not just because it s visible when the light hits them, but also cause the colour is different from the pupil.
I have grey eyes and I'm so excited to see you telling people that yes, it's an eye color lol I get so annoyed with people telling me that they can't be grey because it's "not a real eye color". I have a lot of grey shirts and when I put one next to my iris, it's exactly the same color (light grey at least) 😅
You have to understand the confusion as gray eyes look almost identical to light blue. 2 of my friends have light blue eyes and I swear to God for the longest time I thought they were gray.
Yup, I have Grey also. I got them from my mother. I didn't find out that mom had Grey eyes until my 40s because she aways wore green contacts lenses. 😂
As a graphic artist who has edited many photos, light blue eyes always stand out on camera. I have green eyes, did not realize how rare that is; fascinating video, Doctor!
@@totti. I read a report that said people who have dark coloured eyes are generally less likely to be perceived as trustworthy, and that people with light coloured eyes tend to have better low light vision. So it can have more impact than you might realise.
I have gray eyes. Fun fact gray eyes, similar to hazel, “shift” in color as well. My husband has amber eyes. They are so light they are almost orange in some lights. Our daughter however ended up with dark dark brown eyes. Genetics are weird (but fascinating)
I have light blue eyes with that gold ring on the pupil. Sometimes they look greenish grey because of it. My husband has Hazel eyes, with blue, green, and bright orange. Our daughter ended up with a deep blue, but also has that same gold ring that I have. My Mom has green eyes and we have brown eyed family as well, kinda fun how unpredictable eye color can be
I HAD grey eyes. When I became a teenager, I developed yellow pigment which turned my eyes green. There is no brown at all. My child was born with electric blue eyes, and when they hit puberty, they also got the yellow, but it turned their eyes an electric aqua shade. They got tired of people commenting on their eyes all the time, so they got contacts for a while. lol
I have grey eyes and I remember that as a kid I was convinced they looked more blue or green dependant on sunlight. As I got older I thought it was just my imagination but maybe there was something to it.
The thumbnail for this video caught my eye. I used to have a customer at my job with heterochromia. Her right eye was BRIGHT aquamarine. Like, straight tropical waters, pale blue-green. But her left eye was BRIGHT amber. I've seen a lot of people with heterochromia (it's supposedly rare, but there were like a dozen people in my neighborhood with it??), but I have NEVER seen an eyeball that was that bright gold before. The brightness of both colors was just amazing together. Most of my customers that came in with it at that job had one regular blue, and one regular brown, or regular blue and regular hazel. But damn, were hers striking!
My son has grey eyes. They are pretty spectacular. When he was young I couldn’t take him anywhere without people stopping us and commenting. I have brown, his dad has blue.
I have light green eyes with specks of gold. I get compliments on them often and feel like they're my prettiest asset. They run in the family with both parents!
I don't have blue eyes at all lol, but I have really dark brown eyes. I've also gotten lots of compliments strangely, especially when my eyes r in the sun! It's a brown eyed ppl thing, we love the sun lmao!!!
I have generally lighter blue eyes. I am blinded when i walk on a big piece of concrete.sunglasses isn't even a choice, you have to get them.My entire family has blue eyes aswell.
I have hazel eyes and, especially in summer or bright lights, I can make them look blue or green by wearing that color shirt. My mother had the most beautiful light blue eyes with gold flecks in the center. My wife has lovely brown eyes that always melt my heart whenever she smiles.
i've got the darkest version of hazel eyes. they look brown most of the time. but if the sun hits them at a certain angle, or certain types of indoor lighting will turn them green. first time my girlfriend saw that she freaked out. she thought i had brown eyes the whole time.
I am on the green side eyes and I love them - didn't know that they are so rare - but I recognize immediately when someone else has these green eyes too. 🥰
Same here! My husband and I both have green eyes, that's the first we noticed about eachother lol. Our son has a grey blue shade..genetics are interesting.
I thought I had hazel colored eyes, but this video thought me that they’re amber! They always seem different depending on what I’m wearing, my makeup or if the sun is shining that day. Awesome video!
My base eye color is amber which I usta just call baby poop I did notice at times they would darker brown with flakes of dark green making them kind of golden brown from afar, my mom always insisted I have Hazel eyes, it wasn't untill I was in my 30s something upset me, I usually don't look in a mirror when crying upset whatever that day I did and freaked me out, my mom was right, my eyes where a very bright light green. Next time something makes you cry really really sad hurt feelings sad look in a mirror than you'll know for sure Amber or Hazel ✌️😊👍
@@aleshacoats9033 weirdly enough, I totally understand what you mean. Tears just do something with the eyes.. and clothes/makeup can also really make a difference in how they appear. I love the mine have some type of golden specs/rays in them. Eyes are just so fascinating, unique and beautiful 🙏🏼🤍
ive always been very attracted to blue eyes, you mention the sky and the sea and honestly i think thats what it is. theyre like the beauty of those thing. i also love grey and light brown/hazel eyes. i never knew purple, red, or pink was an eye color and now i want to see someone with such eyes.
I think there's often something alluring about extremes, the palest greys & violets as well as the deepest browns stand out and bright green eyes feel almost magical.
I met a young girl, couldn’t have been more than 8 years old. She had sun-yellow eyes and was perfectly healthy. I asked her if she wore contacts and she replied no. It truly was like staring into the sun, so pretty!
My aunt has the same! Both of her eyes are a very uniform light jade color. They are beautiful and slightly intimidating. I've never met anyone else with eyes like that. My best friend has green eyes but they have a lot of shades of green, some yellow, and even a little blue, so they remind me a lot of shallow ocean water and seagrass, super pretty!
I knew a guy in the army who had bright orange eyes. He was a very wild, dangerous individual who had very little to say to anybody. Everybody was afraid of him as he would attack without warning. Looking into his eyes was like looking at a lion.
@@Punkydoodle007, not that rare in mixed raced people. I have encountered here in the UK and also in the US lots of biracial children (so not adults wearing lenses) with blue or green eyes. One (in)famous person with pale blue green eyes is Jeremy Meeks (nicknamed hot or handsome felon). He later became a model.
A treasure of a presentation, Dr. It would be good for science teachers to share with students as a way of highlighting physical differences and possibly prevent bullying based upon physical characteristics.
@@DoctorEyeHealth That happened to my child. They were born with electric blue eyes, but when they hit puberty, they turned vibrant green with no brown like your picture showed. Only yellow (family trait) and it was so bad when they changed that they wore colored lenses for a while. They learned to embrace there green/aqua eyes after a while. My eyes did the same, (which fascinated my eye doctor, as he is the one that told me they changed) but my base color is grey, so they are not nearly as vibrant.
Me too! When I was young, I wished that mine were blue, which I thought was more rare. Now I'm just happy that they still work, although age deterioration has set in.
I've often wondered about this topic, especially the percentage of each color. My mom's eyes were light blue with a lot of amber flecks and an amber iris rim. I rarely notice gray eyes. My brother's were amber graduating to brown on the iris rim. Early in life mine were called brown but leaned toward amber. By the time I was grown they looked hazel to me. People close to me remark that my eyes change to a deep green at times. I seldom notice when they're green. My son's are hazel with some amber and my daughter's are similar in a darker version. Their father's are the rarest color I've seen. A neon blue with much lighter contrasting blue flecks. I always notice when I see someone with similar eyes - extremely rare. I've always been drawn to eyes as the single prominent feature of the face. I've seen it claimed that blue eyes fade as a person ages, though my husband's have not.
I have not heard if blue eyes fade. If they do, it is probably due to changing clarity in the cornea of the eye. But we usually only see that in more advanced ages.
Thank you for your very good explanation! I have relatively dark green eyes and I have also noticed several times that others perceive my eye color differently depending on the color of my eye makeup (more often as brown instead of green). To be honest, I've always found light gray eyes the most beautiful, but since my mother and some of my family also have green or green-brown eyes, I like them because they make me think of my family 🥰
My mother has hazel eyes, my father blue. My siblings and I ended up with either dark blue or grey eyes. I have seen mine look navy blue, emerald green, and even a shade of purple before. I always thought they looked quite dull growing up, and was always admiring the beautiful eyes around me. My best friend in highschool had amber eyes that were almost golden. My step sister has the most striking green eyes, her brother pale ice blue eyes. Absolutely beautiful, and vibrant eye colors! I always thought my eyes were dull and kinda ugly until I saw them look emerald green once as a teen (I happened to be wearing a deep green dress and they reflected the color strongly that day for whatever reason) My husband has dark brown eyes, and our son inherited his dad's dark brown eyes, and my light brown/blonde hair, which was a very very striking combination, especially when he was a little one (He looked JUST like Precious Moments babies)
I've been bullied relentlessly as a child for my green eyes and called a "witch" or "demonic" for having them (yay for growing up in a sickly religious town). Now that im older i learned to love them so much! Im so proud of them. I inherited the colour from my maternal grandmother (bright emerald, almost cat-eyes looking) and great grandmother (light green with golden splodges that resembled gemstones). My eyes have a deep dark green border, splodges of gold & emerald green background. Whenever i look at them, i can see my grandmom & great grandmom in them. Its an honour to carry the memory of them with me in such a special way. 💚
I have a gun metal grey in my eyes. In certain lighting, like when its really bright outside they'll appear to be very bright with a slight blue or green tint, but mostly just grey.
i've got the darkest version of hazel eyes. my whole life, i've been hearing " wait a sec, i didn't know you had green eyes, i thought they were brown"
Thank you! You just settled my life long controversy of what color my eyes are. I always said they were a grey/green. Others say blue or even call them hazel even though my eyes are not brown. My eyes are green or green grey.
I’m often told my eyes are hazel. They are solid green, with no hint of brown, if anything they lean blue. True hazel is beautiful, I’d love to have it. I don’t love being informed by people with pushy opinions that my eyes are hazel and not green. It’s a bizarre experience.
I have hazel eyes, according to an eye doctor. They look really blueish-greyish-green, but at the pupil there's a yellow-brownish ring around it and that's why he says they're hazel. They look more blue or more green or more grey depending on the weather and also if I'd been swimming or crying.
@@TheBOG3I believe it is-my eyes are mostly olive green, except for a brown ring around the pupil/ I’ve always been told that makes them hazel, even by my eye doctor. Hazel can be a varied mix but there’s always a brown inner ring.
That's an exact description of my eyes! Hi, eye twin! I also have a dark blue ring around the outside of my irises. I always check to see what color my eyes appear to be every day because it varies so much. Baseline, they seem to present multiple colors at once. My color changing eyes are my favorite thing about myself. :-)
@@TheBOG3 Tell that to my eye doctor who got his degree from Johns Hopkins. He's actually SEEN my eyes and can describe it better than what I can. YOU'RE just full of it.
@@HalfLatinaJoy86 No I’m not! Hazel eyes don’t have blue in them. They’re light brown with green flecks that can make eyes go from looking brown to green.
My eye color changes. It's mostly blue, but at times, they go a brite green. Then they go gray, and then brite blue. It's strange, and it freaks people out.
I remember having a stand up argument when I got my driver's licence issued. My optician says I have green eyes and the lady behind the counter said they were hazel. Ended up with me calling the manager 😂
Funniest thing I ever witnesses, was a girl, who was getting her identity card and had dark brown eyes, but was trying to talk the ckerk into writing on the card, that her eye colour was blue, because she liked blue better. The clerk was just rolling his eyes. 😂
So interesting! Green eyes here ! With a little bit of a goldish color ring around the pupil😍💚💚💚 you are fabulous Dr. Allen! Keep the good stuff coming! I have severe dry eye and a postmenopausal woman in my 60s. I do a pretty good job managing it through a trial and error and watching articles and seeing my ophthalmologist and optometrist. Except for the disease my eyes are pretty healthy and my prescription lenses are pretty light. 💖😍💖
Green eyes here, with parents and sister with brown eyes 🤷♀️🤷♀️. Both of my grandmothers had blue eyes. I've always gotten compliments on my green eyes 😊.
Herterozygote is the name of a mix of Brown eyes and blue eyes ( parents or grand-parents) , and it often occure to get green eyes. For instance , both of your parents have brown eyes as dominant gene, but both ( because of theirs mothers) have blue gene hidden. One of them gave you th brown, thé other gave you thé blue. Thé result in your case is a mix of both, green. My case too ( father = quiet dark green eyes, mother= brown eyes, but my grand-mother ( her mother) = grey eyes. Result for me : green eyes, clearer than my father, with grey inside.
I wished for green eyed kids! I’m blue, my mom is blue, her parents were both blue but my husbands had brown eyes with no blues anywhere in their lineage that I could find. Soooo my kids just have yucky hazels if not brown eyes 🤷🏼♀️ my dad has hazel but has some sibs with blue along w/the browns. My kids with hazel do have colors changing tho. One also has a blue almost ring around her hazel irises.
I've got green eyes but a blue/grey ish layer on the outside and a small brown pigment closer to my pupil. I think they're really unique and I've gotten a lot of compliments for it :D
Same (though I didn't know it was called turquoise)! Depends on the environment I'm in - sometimes they look grey, sometimes they look green and sometimes they look ice blue. I always thought I had blue eyes, but then I see my sister and I realise, no -SHE has blue eyes 👀 very blue. Bit jealous 😅
A friend's daughter has silver eyes and black hair. It's quite startling to see for the first time. I had a boyfriend with violet eyes like Elizabeth Taylor, and he had no albinism. Dark brown hair and olive skin. And yes, I went to school with a boy with one blue and one brown eye.
@@DoctorEyeHealthit’s false, she had blue eyes. That would/could appear violet In some lighting. But that and her being born with distichiasis, a genetic ‘disorder’ that produces an extra row of eyelashes, her eyes definitely made a statement!
I was really confuzed about which eye colour I have. When I was younger I had brown eyes but later they changed to green, but they aren't green all the time, it depends on light level. After watching this video I know I have hazel eyes and all things I was confused about was explained, so thank you.
I had a teacher with purple eyes, a magnificent amethyst color, she had dark hair and wasn't albinos ! She was an old lady known in the whole town for those eyes, one of them had an hint of blue, I'll always remember this.
I dont even know my eye colour. I've had people comment that they're green, grey, blue, hazel, brown. I grew up thinking they are hazel though. They tend to change colour depending on the light.
Most likely you do, mine are and I've been told the same thing. They are predominantly green though-at least when I look at them. People comment on them all the time but to me they're just my eyes. LOL
Blue and green are the most attractive to me. They are amazing to stare at, and I'm not a freak stalker but they seem to look right into your soul. Love it.
I remember my eyes being more blue when I was a child, but once I got into my teens they became more grey or hazel, depending on what I was wearing. I honestly have a hard time truly discerning what color they are, with progressive lenses and light bulb color temperatures... so my license just says hazel. I'm not really sure if that's technically correct. I know I'm crazy, but does anyone else not entirely sure what color their eyes actually are?
I have hazel mostly green eyes with flecks and areas of copper brown and depending upon the lighting, my eyes can look very dark brown, grey, copper brown, brilliant green and mint green 😎
my hazel eyes are so dark they look brown most of the time. but if the sun hits them at a certain angle they literally turn green. first time my GF saw that she freaked out. she thought i had brown eyes the whole time
Love this video. I love all eye colors. I have the hazel eye color that has green ,yellow, and brown, but I don't know when they change color. People claim they change color, and lately, people have caught them honey color, which is like amber. I caught them gray once. It actually took me years to find out my eyes weren't brown , I grew up thinking my eyes were brown, lol. Turned out they were a type of hazel. All eye colors run through my family as well, so it explains why I got hazel eyes, and my dad and sister stood with brown eyes, but theirs gets light brown too. My mom has blue, but blue eyes run through both sides of the family.
I got on a bus here in lake worth Florida once. I forgot where to or why but I remember a young white man with the golden amber eye color of a lion. He looked homeless but it was around the time people get off work so that mighta been the case. Whichever it was I’ve never seen eyes like his or forgotten how beautiful they were. It was like they had an inner light but I don’t mean some unnatural glow or gaudiness to them. I mean a brightness that came through as natural as the sun rising in the east.
I was waiting for heterochromia 😢 I have central heterochromia, people usually just think they’re blue, but in the light my iris reveals the green in the middle. My left eye also has brown speckles in it. I used to just tell people I had blue eyes cos I couldn’t be bothered 😂😂
I used 2 have a classmate with a complex pattern of blue & amber/red eyes. Central heterochromia with specks but also stark contrast. She was a redhead so it was clear the darker part of her iris matched the redness in her hair. Only time I’ve seen anything like it.
I have always gotten compliments on my 'blue' eyes (have a piercing look effect), but was actually told from my eye specialist that my eyes are grey and unique. I have a dark border and the inside is very pale. I will say that depending on what I wear, my eye color can appear to change from grey to blue or bluish green. My husband's eyes are green/brown and our son has green eyes, and our daughter has blue (still very young and could change). This video was very informative and fun to watch.
I'd be very interested to see the doc take a dive on heterochromia (which admittedly I was expecting to make an appearance here, but excellent work regardless!) as I personally find them to be the most attractive, particularly central heterochromic eyes!
Thanks for asking about that. The webbing like stuff you are talking about is a leftover remnant of where the pupil was covered during fetal development. It is called the Iris collarette. For some people, the pupillary membrane doesn't detach and the pupil doesn't form correctly. But it often leaves behind some beautiful webbing patterns.
It’s interesting living in Asia where people have brown eyes, but buy contact lenses of different colors to give themselves a different appearance. As for eye color, I am particularly interested in heterochromia. I have seen in one breed of cat here, the khao manee, but wondered does that also occur in humans. I will have to watch your linked video to find out.
It does occur in humans too, I have a friend who have one green and one blue eye! While I myself have genetic central heterochromia, it’s so weird how our genes work sometimes. On my mothers side all females had it but none of the males. Mother have it of course, but not my brothers. I absolutely love my eyes, they’re a blueish-gray depending on lighting and with a clear golden halo around the iris ^^
This was an excellent video. Very informative and interesting information about eye color. I find green or gray eyes to be the most attractive, but that is just my opinion. My eye color has changed several times throughout my life (76 years), from blue to green to hazel w/green and now hazel w/blue. I have no idea about that, but it doesn't seem to be ordinary. 💕💕💕
Thank you!!! interesting that your eye colors have changed over the years. I wonder if changes to sympathetic tone (which can change with age) may influence eye color a bit. I imagine it could be seen easier on someone with lighter/green/hazel eyes. Has your doctor ever commented on the change? Can you verify with pictures?
Pictures wouldn't show up the eye color if I had any and no one has mentioned eye color. I don't think people really notice much about others. When I renew my driver's license and change it, or anything else, they never even look up.Besides, who would bother documenting something from 1947 to now. I don't think we even had a camera when I was growing up! Thanks for responding though. 💕💕💕
