Why do we have different colored eyes?

Why do we have different coloured eyes? Do blue eyes see different colours to brown eyes?

  • why do we all have different coloured eyes? is there a reason? caus i look as other animal species and in a species they all have the same eye colour, why are we different? does ...show more

  • Answer:

    The iris is supposed to block light down to the right amount, and packing it full of melanocytes (that make the dark brown pigment) makes the iris work slightly better. But, the invention of sunglasses made it obsolete. Eye color does not affect color perception.

No. The iris is a sphincter muscle that determines the size of the pupil. You don't actually see through the iris and the colour is just pigment that helps filter harmful light from the muscle. Besides, the colour that you see is the light reflecting off of the eye, not into the eye.

You only see colour differently if you are colour blind. That's all to do with the light receptors at the back of your eye. The light gets in through your pupils, not the coloured bit, so the iris makes no difference. It's not like looking through a stained glass window.

The iris is the colored part, and light gets through the pupil, and the pupil does not assume the color of the iris; it's like black and like that for all people.So we do see the same because the iris id=s not the part light goes through

Species of animal do not have all the same eye color, I'm not sure where you get that impression. The same species of cat can have tons of cats with lots of different eyes. Same with dogs. Eye color comes from pigmentation in the eyes (ex: albinos have blue eyes because they lack pigment in their body and blue is the human eye expression of no pigment). This is all dictated by genetics. It doesn't affect how you see, that is determined by cells in your retinas called "rods" (which see black & white and control peripheral vision) and "cones" (which see colors, focus on objects, and is more in the center of your vision). The whole thing about whether or not we all see the same colors objectively is a philosophical issue that probably can't ever be solved unless someone finds a way to live using not only two different sets of eyes, but different brains as well.

everybody see the colors different from each other, that however as nothing to do whit the color of your eyes but whit the color cones (that detect the color).

that is the colour of the eye it does not affect the pupils or the colour cones in our eyes PS: in a couple of hundred maybe thousand years EVERY human is gona have brown eyes cause study shows that the brown eye gene is the most dominant

The Questioner

the difference in eye color is due to the diff in the color of iris.. and it doesnt affect the way we see other things or colors...
