Eyes

February 17th, 2007 by amie

There is a question I have asked for years now, and no one has been able to provide me a satisfactory answer - do the color of your eyes affect how you see? Now, I haven’t asked an optometrist or any other professional before, mostly because I never think about it when I get my yearly eye exam.

If you think about it, how can you really define the color red? Perhaps the color red to me, with blue eyes, looks more orange to someone with, say, brown eyes. We are taught as young children that the grass is green and the sky is blue. But how do you really know what that is? If I am told since birth the grass is green, then any color I see as similar to it will be green. How does one define green or red?

Is there a difference between eye color or is just for “looks” with no purpose? Was there a mutation in genetics that caused the different colors? Is there a reason for it?

I asked Blake this question yesterday, and all he said was, “Sometimes you’re too deep for me.” If you couldn’t tell, this question has been bothering me for a long time now, so if you have a theory, I’d love to hear it.

    That’s a question for Smart-Kit.
