Recent research shows that blue-eyed men prefer blue-eyed women. Thus it appears that, at least to some observers, eye colour is important.
But why do humans have different eye colours?
It mostly comes down to the amount and location of melanin (yes, the same substance which controls skin colour) in the human eye. Pale eyes such as blue, grey or green eyes contain little melanin, dark brown eyes more. Which eye colour you get is primarily determined from genetic variation based on the eye colour of your parents.
But does your eye colour influence how you see?
It turns out that it does. The darker the eyes, the more light is absorbed as light waves pass through the eye, and the less light is available to reflect within the eye. Light reflection (scatter) within the eye can cause susceptibility to glare (eg. sun or headlights) and to poor contrast discernment. Thus it seems that people with darker eyes may have better vision in high-glare situations – perhaps this makes them better night drivers, for example.
Eye colour may also affect your colour vision. Here it seems that lighter eyes may provide some advantages.
So it seems to me that blue-eyed people should really go for dark-eyed partners – this way one can pick the paint colours, and the other can drive home at night.

so does this mean that when driving drunk, people with brown eyes are less likely to get in an accident than people with blue eyes?
No, just more likely to drive drunk as more drunks are brown eyed.
that, my dear, is because half of the world’s population has brown eyes =.=
Ok…look… brown eye people will once agein rule this earth…because blue eye people are not fit for the sol purpose of being human. For they are the ones who fucked up the genetic code.
Actually people with blue eyes have been proven to have a higher alcohol tolerance so they would be less likely to be drunk in the first place.
It’s actually the other way around. Except in East Asians. That’s why white people get knocked on there as after a few drinks XD
I have to agree with the glare issue. I wear sunglasses even on cloudy days.
Here’s one for genetics. I am blonded (with a little help now), blue eyed, light complexion, left handed, non tongue rolling child of two dark hair (almost black), dark complexion, brown eyed, right handed, tongue rollers. Can it get any more recessive than that?
I’m sorry to break this to you, but……..you’re adopted.
SOUNDS LIKE JOHN OAKES IS FULL OF SHIT…HAHAHA.
Is spelling genetic… the word is blond (although saying I am blonded could be correct since a person creates that look with a brush and some sauce.)
BLONDE
Only blonde for women tho, blond for fellers.
Correct, one for few words in English with gender spelling.
Ok… look>>
for all u people who do not understand ”Rape” from the beging of time>>>when blue eye people took your land and made who u are now.Its time for a wake up call……do your history.
Aryans will rule the earth dear dumbass.

….Soo Thiss Means That Brown Eyes Are SOOOO Much Better?
no not at all this also means light eyed people have better perception and this explains whenever a photo is taken i blink and almost cry and then everyone says just look away i try and the same happens
i have tested many of eyes in my line of work and usually the people who need glasses have blue eyes but last year 65% of people who need galsses had brown eyes. so i dont think there is a rashional expenation why brown eyes see better in the sun than blue eyes even though i have blue eyes and i can see well in the sun.
Rational, explanation. Who’s eyes are you testing? You can’t even write, how did you make it through school?
Funny!!! lucy is a fck brazillian nazi and can´t even write english but is an eyes expert eye doctor!!!! To point it out and show how dumb this people are and yet rules the world. The fact is that jews are 23% of all Nobel price winners and there is 0.2% of jews on earth and they is the superior race? Seems to me that like all nazi things it´s just the oposite and they lie thru theyr teeth, Hitler killed the resarch of the so called superior race research digging by the arqueologists becuse they were finding that at the time the superior race was making clay pots, the greeks was teaching trigronometry in theyr theaters, the people that they killed from hunger by stealing all that they cud, food, gold, chickens you name it. And they say that they once again will rule the world becuse they are superior? Really!!! Sad is that they belive in it. But all what i have said about the jews being 23% of the Nobel Price winner will be changed, becuse this people (the nazis) devote theyr lives to make all suffer, and they devote theyr lives to destroy, control and to have doing nothing!!! They will rule becuse at the time that good people are thinking about solving the world´s problems and help, they are thinking about to destroy and conquer. So yep! if you have your mind on this you will get it only becuse the good ones are to distracted thinking like a human being should and not like a worm!!!
PS: Sorry about my english, i know it´s bad but or i write like this or i don´t at all, but in portuguese i can write fine as you do in english and i am so ashamed about the fact that you can write so much better in my language that i can do in yours that i have to ask you for pardon.
PS2: kkkkk dateils already fill in by default with website that have nothing to do with the e-mail. This is necto against the law!!!
Interesting.
cindratee – Maybe you aren’t as recessive as you think, maybe you just don’t know who your real father is.
The word is blond when referring to the colour itself, but mostly spelt blonde when referring to an object, such as hair. Blonde is also the ‘female’ noun. Blond is the adjective.
Also, neighbour – in the English language (for hundreds of years), is spelt with a u, as with all words that end in ‘our’. This is because in pronunciation you accentuate the end of those types of words and elongate the word in speech, i.e.: annunciation of the word neighbour (US incorrect spelling being neighbor) is: naay-bore, not naybor. The same with colour, flavour, favour – you wouldn’t say grandur, you’d say grandeur, it’s just the same.
Spelled* is the past participle of spell
Was this article written by somebody with Brown eyes? If the evidence they quote is true then why is there no mention that in a night situation surely the less light absorbed by the Iris would be better? Not everything is glare at night, what happens when the oncoming car has passed? Plus being able to see well does not mean you are a better driver, at night or anytime.
I think the evidence would point to Brown eyes being better in the day, constant bright conditions, which would point to the areas on the planet where those conditions exist. Africa, South America etc. Whereas places that have less Sun seem to be populated with Blue, or lighter eye coloured people.
blue eyes are newer than brown eyes, and haven’t had a chance to spread as much among the genetic population yet. apart from those with albinism and other disorders, the majority of blue eyed people are descended from a common ancestor who was essentially a mutant.
i love my brown eyes, but i also really love light colors. it depends on how the person.
Food for thought…
A two and a half year analysis of traffic accidents in a New Jersey suburb showed that 58 percent of people involved in an accident had brown eyes. Blue eyes came in second with 17 percent. Of these accidents, 78 percent occurred during daylight hours.
What’s New Jersey’s blue eyed- population and what’s the brown eyed one? I’m talking about numbers here. Just think how many people have brown eyes compared to the ones who have blue/green ones. So, the more numbers that certain population has then the more chances that that population will appear in some invalid/crappy “research/data” like this one.
People who generally have brown eyes: Hispanic, black, asian.
What’s the number of blue eyed people in the New Jersey area? and from those numbers, how many do actually drive? and FROM those numbers how many got in traffic accidents?. when you get all of this THEN you can get valid data on if there are differences in eye color performance.
Oh, and don’t forget to look up for the same information for brown eyed people. You really have to think of demographics if you want to have some valid information. Same goes to Lucy who works in eye-care.
I hope this makes sense, English isn’t my first language.
63% of all statistics are made up anyway… but the point is, 58% + 17% is only 75% did the othe 25% have no eyes?
Well, that was interesting because I have brown eyes. I don’t think eye color has an major effect on eye site and guys….most people have brown eyes.~<3
yeah but lighter eyed people have more sensitive eyes which are bad for bright lights but increases perception thus increasing accuracy
and also increaseing the ability to see in the dark almost forgot
when bright headlights pass through a lighter (blue) iris, the light get’s focused to the sides of the pupil. this makes the light source appear larger and cancels any positive effect of seeing better in the dark
No eye color is better than the others. It probably wouldn’t even be a noticeable difference anyway. I think all eye colors are gorgeous.
Ya…right… untill brown eyes take over the world once agein.
What a load of crap. This seems like more anti-white propaganda. The advantages of blue eyes are that vision in darkness is higher.. Suggesting that blue eyed people should be with brown eyed parters because it will somehow bring the benefits of brown is so ridiculously stupid it makes me laugh. Do you really think that brown eyes are superior and will make you more efficient? Seems to me like white people have been pretty successful throughout history with blue eyes in comparison to Africans with dark eyes. Blue eyes are illuminating, rare and radiate the entire face which is very beautiful. Brown eyes can be boring considering over 75% of the world has this and entire races dont have the option for either color, but white people do. Having a blond girl with blue eyes is pure beauty and rare. Its almost like a totally different species but in no way inferior. And a good way to determine if white people are at the disadvantage in their environment because of their genetic appearance is to look at the unimaginable advanced civilizations, cultures, societies, and technological advancements that have been created by these light skinned, blue eyed beauties. I think I will stick to my blue eyed goddess thankyou.
If you like brown eyes so much, leave a white nation and you will see exclusively brown eyed people everywhere. Brown eyes look amazing on people and its just a matter of preference. There is no better color. Whats next? We start getting away with talking about the skin tone being better? Its just a color and each color is beautiful. Internally we are all the same. Brown eyes can look very exotic on non-whites and white people, and blue eyes can light up the face and pierce your soul with its beauty. Its just 100% personal opinion. There is no better eye color
you are a racist
No Mike you are an idiot. Why is it acceptable to say that brown eyes are better but its not possible to state my own personal preference of blue eyes? God you “anti-racists” are a joke. You scream “racist” in every sentence without realizing the total hypocrisy. Go away. Nobody here is a Nazi, or wanting to kill 19 trillion Jews, we are discussing eye color, and i specifically said that we are all the same on the inside to prevent brain dead liberal mindless idiots like you from screaming “racist”.
Yo dawg you muhfuggen racis! dam you whitey. I hope yo die yo. Im having sex with your white women right now gee, and damnnn deez white girls are fine yo. I be puckering ma lips to dis white bootey. We gonna kill you fuggen disgusting cracker white scum. Black power! KILL BLUE EYES
Believed it or not, You are racist! Your whole response screams “Hitler.” You know Hitler, right? He is pretty much up in your alley of thought and view on why the white race is superior than any other races. And we all know what he did to make sure it stayed that way. The article is mainly pointing out the SCIENTIFIC FACT about having less or more melanin in your eyes or even skin. It’s not a whole “anti-white” that you solely claim. Do you know that dark skin people have a natural skin protection factor(SPF) of up to 13? Which gives them an advantages to lighter skin people when being under the sun. The same goes with people with more melanin in their eyes(see the article). I have light skin with brown eyes, I can definitely see more on a bright sunny day without sunglasses. But I can’t stand being under the sun without any SPF of over 60.
ahahah wow Jerry you sure are a delusional anti-white retard. You even managed to bring up Htiler and crying “racist” because I show preference for blond hair and blue eyes, yet you just claimed that non-whites are physically more durable. hahahaha Can you believe the mindset of these loony left, drooling liberals? Keep crying “wahh wahh nazi hitler racist” it doesnt mean anything. I prefer blond hair and blue eyes. To me it represents total beauty, and My 4 children have these features, but i Guess that makes me a nazi who wants to kill 17 googleplex Jews WAH WAH WAHHHHHH.. Keep crying and using your hypocrisy in race debates you walking contradiction. You realize that calling someone a “racist” is a personal, attack, and people only revert to personal attacks when they have nothing solid to use in a debate. Yes, I have also personally attacked you, because I do not wish to argue with an “anti-racist”, anti-white moron.. You are an absolute Joke. You try to use phoney science to state that races are different only when talking about non-whites being better then whites, but if simply say that but in favor of whites, you start fuming at the mouth and screaming “NAZI RACIST!!!!!!!!”
Its shocking to find how deeply embedded this hypocritical, anti-white militant delusional behavior is today
white people absorb more vitamin D. thats why white people live in the cold and black people need SPF 13 because they live in the heat, saying that black people are better than white people or white people are better than black people is like saying ice is better than boiling water, they have different uses adapted to there environments.
can’t agree more.
Blue eyes vs brown eyes is not right. There’s a whole huge spectrum for eye colors. There are some gorgeous shades of brown as well as blues. You say that there is no better eye color at the end of your post but I think that’s just to cover up for your blatant racism. Obviously we are not fooled.
You say “Seems to me like white people have been pretty successful throughout history with blue eyes in comparison to Africans with dark eyes.” You imply ‘white people are more successful than Africans.’ Not necessarily true, and very racist.
You say “Blue eyes are illuminating, rare and radiate the entire face which is very beautiful. Brown eyes can be boring”. You imply ‘blue eyes are prettier and your eyes are boring because I say so.’ Really? You say this then say at the end that all colors are beautiful and neither is better than the rest. Say what you really mean, asshole.
You say “Having a blond girl with blue eyes is pure beauty and rare. Its almost like a totally different species but in no way inferior.” You imply ‘The only true beauty is this race that I like best and we are superior to you.’ Btw, it’s not rare at all. I see people with blonde hair and blue eyes all the time, every day. And who said blue eyes were inferior? No one. You got overly defensive and racist just to defend a freaking eye color.
You say “look at the unimaginable advanced civilizations, cultures, societies, and technological advancements that have been created by these light skinned, blue eyed beauties.” You imply ‘White people with blue eyes are better and more advanced.’
How in hell is that not racist?
And then you go on to say “There is no better eye color”. Make up your freaking mind. At least be confidant in your *racist* beliefs rather than trying to play it off like you’re not a bigoted jerk when we all know you are.
Wow! Way to twist his words! Unreal the comments in these posts. I’ve never read such bullocks.
That is pretty much what he meant dumbass.
“Seems to me like white people have been pretty successful throughout history with blue eyes in comparison to Africans with dark eyes.”
“You imply ‘white people are more successful than Africans.”
thats not racist, saying Europe and north america is more developed than africa its a fact. the average life span of a european is about 80 in some parts of africa its barely 30 its not because of skin colour its to do with medicine and wealth acquired by a more advanced civilisation. its just liberal naivety to say otherwise. next time you need a doctor go to somalia and see what you think of it.
White people are in my opinion the least racist race. an african man will call a white man a white boy or vanilla face basically meaning Nerd and will get away with it. if a white man even says i like blue eyes he is branded a racist. if a liberal stance at race is going to work it needs to be balanced otherwise it pushes some non liberal formally non racists towards “Nazi” like thoughts because of the oppression the super liberals put on non liberal, you might create the next Hitler if your not careful.
It’s funny. Two of my classmates have an eye mutation. They both have different eye colours, one brown and one blue. I’m curious about asking them whether there is any differences between the visual perception of their eyes, but I don’t want to embarass them since they might consider this variation in colours to be a bad thing.
Brown eyes see better in the dark. Then it’s logical that it is the other way in the light. But then it’s better with brown anyway. But that may not be so everywhere in the world.
I Live in Norway. Here the snow makes it many times brighter than normal in winter. Even much brighter than it is in lands very long to the south.
Here blue eyes have been an advantage.
When walking in the snow, skiing or whatever, you will sooner or later become snow-blind if you don’t wear strong sunglasses. Eventually everything becomes the exact same white colour, except for the sky and the trees (If there are any). If you are where no trees are, you’re in some serious trouble. Brown eyed people become snow-blind much faster. (Experienced that myself)
I once walked off a cliff when I was snow-blind. I was lucky, it was only 10 feet tall and the landing was off course soft because of the snow
In the past when there were no sunglasses, and people lived in the wild, blue eyes would have been an advantage here, but not so much anymore.
So I guess brown is best in most of the world, therefore it is most common, but it is not best everywhere. (There are other factors too, but…)
I bet the difference between blue and brown really is very small, it is interesting to read about, but who really cares?!?
Brown eyes handle strong light better, but not over long time then, I don understand this. How can we people living half the year in snow be more sensitive to light. But again, the days are shorter in the winter too (and much kinger in the summer
)
BTW sorry for bad english.
not kinger *longer
That’s great.. I have blue eyes, and so does my partner.. And on top of that he is colour blind and I’m short sighted! What a pair we make!
Mort I would love to have one of each colour… Tell your friend they share their experience with Kate Boswell and David Bowie, except David Bowie wasn’t born with two different coloured eyes, it happened when he got punched in the head when he was young
Robert, we already have the answer to skin colour.. Everyone knows that white is the best, and blue eyed blonde haired people are the best of the best.. Hitler would agree with me..
Also, you’re working on the assumption that white people don’t have brown eyes, and that you prefer light skinned blue eyed people, which is in itself a bit racist.
Although, I once met an Israeli lady who had blue eyes and they were the most piercing blue I had ever seen and stood out even more because of her dark skin
Disclaimer, the top comment was tongue in cheek for any bereft of a sense of humour
(quote)” and that you prefer light skinned blue eyed people, which is in itself a bit racist.” (end quote)
Are you joking?? or are you just a typical anti-white brainwashed militant liberal?
How is it RACIST that someone prefers blue eyes and blond hair? it wouldnt be racist to prefer the opposite would it? Are you suggesting for even a second that white people are not allowed to have preference over their own people (which is natural) and should feel guilty about seeing beauty in their physical traits? AHHHAAH
Yno this is the mindset of liberals today. They have a saying “anti-racist is code for anti-white” you leftist liberal sheep are incredible. You express reverse racism towards white people and mask it for “fighting against racism”
Guess what? I prefer blond hair and blue eyes… Got a problem? why dont you cry and shout “HELP LOCK THIS WHITE MAN UP! HE IS ATTRACTED TO WHITE PEOPLE! WE MUST KILL ALL EVIL WHITE PEOPLE IN ORDER TO BE FREE”
God I hate this world. Enjoy your next trip to the holocaust museum you brainwashed anti-white fools
Steven, thanks for putting my thoughts into words.
Do you even know what militant means?
Europeans(I will not use the wrongly interpreted term Caucasian since those people are from the caucas mountains and you guys are from central asia) mostly have brown eyes and yes “Babylonian” society and anti-white militia are both wrong and stupidity in them is high but hey be peaceful yourself and everyone else will follow,do not try to impose peace on others.
If light skin was better then why do they spend all that money and time in the sun to look darker?
I think it’s because we feel so naked in our natural pale skin color….so exposed….like tanned skin seems like you’re wearing more clothing. I don’t think pale white skin is that pretty at all, makes me feel like a white lab rat,a genetic freak (I grew up in Sunny California). But I prefer my skin to be white with fake tanner rather than really sun exposed and red and freckly and potentially leathery. Now I live in a cold place and cover up a lot more and am a lot happier. I have blue eyes btw and don’t like to be without my sunglasses. I find the topic of interest because I figure there must be some reason why I look like this, some point to it. My family is American but came here from Ireland, Scotland, Sweden…..My hair is naturally dark blonde but now I color it red and play up the fair-skinned thing. People are very dissappointed though when they find out my red hair isn’t natural. They feel let down I guess…..I think the jokes on them personally! Why should they care? It’s just for fun and I”m just trying to make light of a situation that has been tough on me my whole life (having the pale skin).
One awesome thing though about pale skin in you don’t scar as much as darker skinned people. And you can apparently absorb more vitamin D from the sun. Those are the only advantages…everything else is negative…skin cancers, melanoma etc. especially….
Holy crap people! It seems as if nothing is free to be discussed without politics being thrown into the mix and ruining a purely innocent topic these days! Just take a breather and relax…..
It is weird because my mom has green eyes and my dad has blue eyes, but as well my grandparents have, two of them brown eyes and two of the blue eyes, now how’s it come that i have brown eyes if the eye color comes from your parents?
ı am sorry Neki you re a adopted child
D
b = Recessive blue eye gene
B= Dominant Brown eye gene
Your mother: Bb Your Father: bb
B b
b Bb bb
b Bb bb
This means that that there is a 50/50 chance that you will have either blue eyes or brown eyes. Brown is dominant and can be heterozygous (Bb) or homozygous (BB), however blue is recessive and can only be homozygous (bb).
Your phenotype would be Brown Eyes.
Your genpotype would be Bb (This means you have a brown eye gene and a blue eye gene). You have taken the brown eye gene (B) from your mother and the blue eye gene (b) from you father because you have half of you mother’s genes and half of you fathers.
It is more complex than that. I have brown eyes (and my family), my husband has brown eyes (and his family), and our daughter has green eyes.
But that doesn’t mean that you or your husband do not have the green eye gene. Brown eyes are the most dominant. You and your parents may have had the Brown eye and Green eye gene and so may your husband. It just wasn’t expressed because there was only one green eye gene passed down the generations. So your phenotype might be brown eyes but your genotype could be Hetrozygous Brown x Green. If this was the same for your husband, your daughter could be Brown x Brown, Brown x Green, Green x Green. She has obviously inherited 2 green eye genes.
(Just a theory)
I dont care I wish I had blue eyes
Be happy with yourself or you will live in depression and be miserable.
Brown.,blue,green eyes r all beautifull it dont matter what color! whats is imp is the fact that u can see! if u take a blind man and offer him eyes do u think he would care what color? no he be happy just to see so we all should be happy with what we have and not act like its a competition or race! what matters is who we r in the inside and how w feel bout ourselves! and just the fact that we can see its something to be thankfull for! i have dark hair with spanish skin tone and brown eyes and i consider my self beautifull! its all bout how u see ur slf u have to happy wth ur self before u expect people to!
omg well said tabitha! i feel more beautiful now

u know wht it seems like all of you brown eyed people are just looking for a way 2 get a little more self confidence out of all of this, I mean get over it so what if you dont have blue or green eyes it dosent make them any better then brown eyed people, and it dosent make us any better then them!!!!
Previous studies show the exact opposite conclusions eg blue eyes have an advantage in conditions light reflect as they evolved to hunt in snow.
Wow…after all beauty is pretty much useless it
seems
This discussion is nonsense. The conclusion here is that whitey is evil and hopefully blue eyed people die out at a quicker rate then currently. You are all enablers of racism for encouraging the existence of blue eyes. There is only one race, the human race! (Unless you’re white, then you’re just evil).
This forum is now closed!
Down with racism
Species not race but nice try bitch but i understand it.
So some guy further up says he likes blonde girls with blue eyes and he gets called a Nazi. this schmuck is actually being racist to white people but no one cares. and you say down with racism. blacks and asians can be racist too white people, its not a oneway street. Europe has helped africa more than africa has helped europe. go suck on a lemon scumbag!
“Europe has helped africa more than africa has helped europe.”
I’m sorry, but this statement holds little merit. One only needs to do a quick google search on “colonialism, “Atlantic slave trade,” or “conquistadors” to learn how the west has consistently marginalized countries in Africa & South America for hundreds of years.
For example, it is widely agreed that a system of racial classifications implemented during Belgian colonialism was the root cause of the 1994 Rwandan genocide which saw 20% of the country’s population brutally murdered. This would be a good starting point to educate yourself. The exploits of United Fruit Co in Latin America is another great example as it is generally how the term “banana republic” was coined. Sending a little bit of food/aid to these countries today does not undo centuries of economic exploitation.
yes okay maybe that was a dumb comment, but still my main point was that its not okay to be racist to white people and then at the end say “Down with racism” thats even more dumb. racism is universal to all races not just whites! so by saying hopefully blue eyed people die out is in my view racist. if a white man said “hopefully all blacks die out” that would be considered racist so why should it be okay the other way round?
personally i dont care what other races say about white people but still it annoys me that its being used as anti racism.
The original posted question was ‘what color eyes see better in the dark?’
I have a friend who has brown eyes and I have blue eyes. When i lonst my keys and we went back in the room without turning on the lights, my friend could see the keys and i couldn’t. We were both looking in the same place. So can brown eyes see better in the dark…..I believe so.
*lost*
Yes, I can spell!!!
You fuckers will never know what you are talking about it does not matter what color your hair or eyes are you are not smart I am Mexican Irish and I’m speaking English to you twits
They speak English in Ireland, I am not impressed.
The only comment I read on this post that made any sense was Jasmine’s. People, just be happy you can see and stop turning innocent subjects into racist issues.
Oops, sorry I meant that Tabitha’s comment was the only one that made sense.
As a blue eyed person, this anti-white racist crap needs to be put into perspective, so:
Hitler had brown eyes and murdered six million civilians.
Stalin had brown eyes and murdered 30 million civilians.
The Chinese Communists had brown eyes and murdered 20 million civilians.
Pol Pot had brown eyes and murdered two million civilians.
The Hutu have brown eyes and they murdered one million civilians.
That’s just in the 20th century kids.
Before anyone trips off on any Aryan rubbish, remember the Aryans as a group includes Iran and India (lots of brown eyes there) and Europe.
So there.
As for vision, in ultra high flux regions of the world, including those with high UV, blue eyes are not the least pone to being relatively more affected than brown eyes by haze…based on the data available from my circle of friends of all types of brown eyed ancestry.
In fact, my brown eyed friends seem to have an issue with bright light.
There you go, a few data points already and only 1,000,000 to go to get a definitive answer.
Simple really
blue eyed people suck a dick XD
Blue eyes and blond hair are gorgeous, as is some darker hair and darker eyes. I prefer lighter though and I am blonde haired and blue eyed too!! Hey!!. Am I a Nazi for that now?? stupid ppl! PC gone mad!!
Shut up meg
BROWN SKIN THAT CAN WITHSTAND SUNGLIGHT, BLACK DICKS, BROWN EYES WITH NIGHT VISION, ASIAN BRAINS, BLACK MUSCLES.
NO WONDER WHITE PEOPLE ARE SO RACIST.
OH MEIN GOTT PEOPLES!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT RACISM AND HITLER AND STUFF LIKE THAT??? ALL THIS ARTICLE IS DOING IS STATING FACTS ABOUT EYE COLOURS AND EYESIGHT, IT’S NOT SAYING THAT BROWN EYES ARE SUPERIOR TO OTHER EYE COLOURS AT ALL!!!!
AND HOW DOES SOMEONE SAYING THEY PREFER A PARTICULAR EYE AND HAIR COLOUR MAKE THEM RACIST, MOST PEOPLE HAVE FAVOURITE EYE AND HAIR COLOUR. MY FAVOURITE EYE COLOUR IS MEDIUM BLUE, AND MY FAVOURITE AIR COLOUR IS GOLDEN BLONDE. DOES THIS MAKE ME A NAZI FOR LIKING BLONDE HAIR AND BLUE EYES?? NO
AND MY BROTHER AND MY PARENTS HAVE DARK BROWN EYES, MINE ARE PALE GREEN, DOES THIS MAKE THEM SUPERIOUR TO ME? NO, T DOESNT.
ALL PEOPLE ARE EQUAL, NO EYE COLOUR IS ANYMORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE FINDS A CEETAIN EYE COLOUR MORE ATRAACTIVE IT DOESN’T MEAN HE OR SHE IS BEING RACIST TO OTHER EYE COLOURS.
I have to agree with the glare thing, but reverse of it is that light eyed people can see better in places with little light than dark eyed people. For example I have blue eyes and live in Japan, one time the electricity went out, but it was daytime so I thought it was still ok and I was still able to read a book without problems, but my coworkers pretty much stopped working complaining that they were having trouble seeing things. This is because blue eyes developed in a part of the world where sunlight is less direct, in some places the sun doesn’t rise for months at a time, while dark eyes evolved in a place with very direct sunlight. Blue eyes developed to let as much light in as possible while brown eyes developed large amounts of light out, like natural sunglasses.
Sorry, I mean to say “brown eyes developed TO KEEP large amounts of light out” not “brown eyes developed large amounts of light out”
Hey, I have brown eyes and they are really bad in bright light. I never use my full beams when driving, my gf has green eyes and tells me off for not having lights on when it is really bright still (just before it gets dark).
Also I found that if I have an energy drink my eyesight goes into a super HD mode.
This is false actually people with blue eyes can see 10% better in dark, its proven.
This is entertaining at the very least. Somewhat informative (which i was hoping to settle a debate) People with blue eyes have better night vision and people with brown eyes have better day vision. The difference is so miniscule it is barley noticeable. Obviously the sun is brighter on the equator, people there have darker eyes. Obviously its darker the further you go north, and people have lighter eyes. Simple. The research shows that night driving, with on coming lights, brown people don’t see as much glare, that’s with on coming traffic, now if it was a dark less traveled road, no on coming lights, blue eyes adapt easier. Think of it this way, night vision goggles pick up light that isnt readily available to the naked eye, there for if you turned a light on suddenly while wearing them, it becomes glaring. That is an exaggeration of what its like for a blue eyed person to pass on coming traffic at night. But left in the dark they’d adjust and see a lot better. So what im trying to explain to all the people who are arguing this point, is, light eyes adjust better to lack of light, and brown eyes adjust better to added light. Alaskan Eskimos eyes are a very light brown to grey color after years of living in a snow felled atmosphere, and genetics would say they are of origin to Asia(dark eyes) . Same goes for Scandinavians I assume.
the debate i was having that led me here was quite innocent, if left in a northern hemisphere, could a black persons eyes become lighter, after thousands of years? my opinion is yes, i am a Darwinian, and believe that if a group of black people lived up north for thousands of years there, skin and eyes, by means of adaptation would change lighter. i was hoping i would have found that info here, but instead a lot of racist on both sides, saying “im better than you,” the funny part is, depending what part of the world you reside in, your both right! its better to be black if you are in the sunny part of the world, and vice versa…. just dont be assholes about it
I think it’s true, darker eyes see better under the sun, why else did different types of eye colors appear? because your genes are finding the best features that can support you for your environment.. Obviously, all black people have dark eyes, because they originally lived in very hot places where the sun is always very bright, dark eyes will allow them to see better under that condition and the dark skin makes them bear the sun’s rays much longer, they don’t need to put creams or lotion like pale people to go under the sun at summer
ok what the hell is going on cause u r all talkin about racism and all that shiz kk so WE R MENT TO DISCUSSING ABOUT BROWN EYES SEE BETTER THAN BLUES EYES
ps
green eyes rule mother f******s
As a blue-eyed blonde-hair person I feel bullied by every comment about racism, screwing up the genectic code, being bad for man-kind and that my kind should be exterminated etc, is like a very painful jab to the eye.
So thank you D:
Also shut up green eyed person these comments are about only
1. brown eyes being better than blue eyes
2. people being adopted
3. spelling
4. racism
5.hitler + aryans
6. defending of the blue eyed race
7. and who can forget insulting people
OK so lets not start a whole new thing about green eyed people

BLAH BLAH BLAH WHATEVER!! EHEHE GO BLOW A GOAT U ALL!
This page contains every stereotype that ever existed on the net. Hahaha!
It is my understanding that black Eyes are measurably faster then blue eyes. Can u tell me how much faster and what study gives the numbers?
Second saw a TV show many years ago with author ash tennis player. Scientist pick out Black and White people in audience by asking them to jump on the spot without seeing the where.
Can u direct me to this scientist or the show video?
So far from all of the comments I’ve read, people argue over petty little things like which eye color is better. People misunderstand things and turn it into a big argument. I have grey eyes and I think brown eyes look gorgous. So seriously, stop arguing.
Wow, this is amazing. Im glad Im a mixure of the melting pot. I have a really white dad and a mom from spain. My dad is an engineer and so is my mom. Dad has blue eyes and mom has brown, me, I have brown. This site has alot of crazy comments that I know are not well thought out. I also know alot of brown eyed dumb shits and alot of blue eyed hill billies. (spelling…im a engineer and I do numbers). People who base their appeals on the color of eyes are lacking a soul and my be with the wrong person. I have chose my gf because of her soul then the outside was just a bonus. Also, Robert, you are a fool but not a racist and you are stuck in the 1950′s. I also think you are very insecure about yourself, and I know you have contributed nothing to society but a bunch of sterotypical thoughts and actions. I would like to know what you do for a living….?
Anyways, people, it isnt the old world anymore. We all have equal oppurtunities now and everyone now has the chance to compete! Believe me, eye color has nothing to do with great contributions to society, people with ambitous attitudes and ability to want to better the world will go far. People that like to seperate individuals and create a portrait of singularity do not understand the complexity of the real world.
It is anyway not anyways. This drives me crazy.
This is why the genius’s should keep there information and only allow it to people who are willing to respect it…. They do realize it’s just about the color of your eyes, right?
Omg
I can’t believe people are arguing over eye color. They’re just eye colors! You al sound like ignorant children.
Hating Jews is not being racist. Jewish is a religion not a race… Just saying…
Hating Jews is not being racist. Jewish is a religion not a race… Just saying… Death to Ming!!!
ALL THIS RACE CRAP IS SIMPLE.
Its better to be black with brown eyes in africa, the skin absorbs less UV thus less chance of skin cancer.
its better to be white with blue eyes in Northern europe the sun is weaker white skin absorbs more Vitamin D.
the same rule might apply to eye colour. but the theory of blue eyes that i feel is more relevant is that it works as away of knowing if your child is yours. that is why blue eyed men are more attracted to blue eyed women. if a blue eyed man has a baby with a blue eyed woman the baby should have blue eyes if not you don’t waste your time raising another mans child. this is supported by the fact that brown eyed men have no prefrence because brown is more common and the stronger Gene and would give no idication to who the father of the baby is, women of all eye colours also have no preference as they know the child is theres. Obviously this is not guarantee as the blue eyed woman may of had a fellow blue eyed lover but it is better than nothing in times before DNA testing.
Oddly enough, I’m blond and have green (sometimes blue) eyes (the gene for blue and green eyes is almost identical and both are based upon albino genetics in which NO melanin is produced).
I see VASTLY better in low light situations. So much so that when I was in the military I had a nickname based upon the fact that I almost never used a flashlight at night (most of what I did there was done at night). Bright light is much worse for me than almost no light at all — I’m literally blind without DARK sunglasses in bright, sunny situations.
Also, I see short wavelengths much more easily than the longer ones, so blue looks much more brilliant to me than a candy apple red, a summer orange, a sunny yellow, and a dirt brown, which all largely look the same to me.
I do like Edward Heritage’s comment about recessive gene selection and partner choice predisposition, though. As much as I hate to admit it, I have a child now almost strictly because my child’s mother had these huge blue eyes. (It didn’t hurt that the mother also looked like Linda Carter at the time… oh, how time can be cruel to women. LOL)
