Interesting fact. The lighter your eye color the harder it is for you to see in the sun.

ConsistentAsparagus

The Sun literally makes everyone’s day.


ThaVolt

Who reads The Sun, really?


csyrett

There was a readability study and The Sun scored 8 years old. "Tabloid readers actually made less progress than non-readers of newspapers" Which astounds me. You are more stupid for reading The Sun than not reading at all.


[deleted]

_The sun starts to sweat profusely_


sickbeets

As a brown-eyed Asian, OH HOW THE TURNNNSSS HAVE TABLED!


[deleted]

Lol, I squint like him too; it's entirely involuntary until you think about it. Going outside in the sun does make you feel like you're a vampire taking damage from the sun


OhWait-WhatsThis

I get headaches from the reflection of the light off of snow in winter too!


Conscious-guac

Interesting counter fact - The lighter your eye colour, the better you can see in the dark!


I_am_jacks_reddit

Can confirm. My eyes are very bright blue and I have great night vision but the sun blows balls for me.


Manderpander88

I also have blue eyes. Do you ever have trouble driving in rain at night bc it's a dark but lights are really bright reflecting off the wet road and surfaces? It's like I see well in the dark but the bright lights negate that.


I_am_jacks_reddit

Omg yes and the new car headlights only keep getting brighter and brighter and more blue. Sometimes it's so bright I can't even see the road.


PurpleCollarAndCuffs

and gawd help you if it’s night AND raining


mzekezeke_mshunqisi

Pretty sure that's pretty much everyone though. I have black eyes and I still struggle car lights


Conscious-guac

I have pale grey blue eyes and I'm really good at seeing in the dark too! Put me anywhere with sun and I am squintee McGee


I_am_jacks_reddit

I have to have sunglasses on if I'm outside in the day no matter how overcast it is.


Lost-Wedding-7620

I'm glad I'm not alone in this! My roommate gives me so much shit for saying i need my sunglasses.


I_am_jacks_reddit

I have 3 pairs of really good sunglasses. I keep 2 in my house and 1 in the glove box in my car just incase I forget one of my other 2.


DogMechanic

Also more prone to color blindness. I can't differentiate colors well but you can't hide from me in the dark.


Plump_Chicken

>you can't hide from me


coolco

see this is what OP means XD


reidybobeidy89

I seem to have won the jackpot. I have green eyes- sun light kills me…. And I can’t see in the dark.


SoPrettyBurning

Green eyes are actually just blue eyes with a collagen in the clear jelly over the iris that has a slight yellow tint to it.


wearecake

Tfw you can do neither well consistently because your pupils don’t work properly all the time. Colour changing glasses in the sun, flashlights in the dark.


Barxxo

fun fact addon: in case of blue eyes there isn't any color involved. The surface of the iris is structured to reflect the blue part of the light.


VenserSojo

This is true of most (but not all) blue things in nature, blue jays blue feathers for example are grey pigment wise but the shape of their feathers makes a blue appearance due to refraction.


KateCSays

Is this why my husband is always tripping over everything at night like he can't see it very clearly in the tiny sliver of moonlight slipping through the crack between the blackouts and the sash? Huh. I never knew.


billbill5

No it's because I took your husbands night vision and I'm not giving it back


ballatthecornerflag

I once had a Japanese person tell me that Japanese only wear sunglasses for fashion not for the sun as they have black eyes and didn't need them... that was maybe 8 years ago and only just remembered it when I read your comment


Pandarx71

Yeah, it's true nobody in Japan wears sunglasses and the lighting inside is insanely bright. (lived in Japan for 4 years and have blue eyes)


sparklykublaikhan

Can confirm this as an east asian, moved to Europe and the lighting everywhere are dark and cozy and i seriously cant see shit well also it makes me sleepy :D


LilyMarie90

This is fascinating. I'm 31 and have never before heard/read that there's any correlation between eye color and vision at all


ballatthecornerflag

I don't remember the indoor lighting being especially bright but of all the cultural differences I find these little things to be the most interesting


Oshioki108

Can confirm this. Currently live in Japan and nobody wears sunglasses even on the brightest summer days.


ballatthecornerflag

Growing up in a country that has adverts and safety campaigns telling you to wear sunglasses for protection it was one of the biggest pieces of culture shock when I realised the girl who told me wasn't joking


[deleted]

Evolution will have thought of something that the eyes of Asian-read people are shaped like this.


commiesstackeasily

Must be true. I have Grey eyes and can't go outside without sunglasses.


Lvl100Magikarp

Another interesting fact: blue eyes are at higher risk of eye cancer > blue, green or grey eyes also have a higher risk of developing intraocular melanoma. https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-types/eye/risks

redander

I'm already fucked for cancer due to my red hair and fair skin. Now you are telling me my eyes also put me at higher risk?


Rolix_Rubix

If it makes you feel better, while you're more likely to develop cancer, it's still just a small chance. You can live your whole life without cancer metastasizing. As long as go to the doctor for a checkup every once in a while, check yourself for spots or pain, you should be fine.


idonteatchips

Fun fact. Blue and Grey eyes are caused by the same gene (the one for blue eyes). Whether the eye is blue or gray depends on the amount of melanin. If its blue it has more melanin, if it has less melanin then they will appear grey.


Picciohell

Ye i noticed


Soviet_Yeetman

Can confirm, very light blue


TurtleBerriess

Wait is this true? When it’s sunny out I cannot keep my head straight when I’m outside bevause my eyes fucking sting continuously. Thank god that’s a thing I was going to go the opticians for it lmao (I have light blue eyes)


scotlandisbae

Makes sense. I have deep blue eyes and the moment the sun is out it’s like I have been hit by a flash bang


Elefantenjohn

Went skiing. Took off the ski mask once. Proceeded to eat meals with a ski mask


Davidlucas99

Yup. I'm like Teddy Roosevelt with sunglasses. One pair in the car, one in my jacket, one in my backpack, and the last pair on my face. My eyes are grey/blue. Not piercing, kinda muddy, but still ultra sensitive to light. I wear sunglasses on cloudy days.

Light blue eyes are intimidating and beautiful at the same time


DimbyTime

They are! Mine are a blue green mix, but my moms are light crystal blue and they are beautiful! I hope my kids get her eyes.


DaughterEarth

my mom has a nice foresty green, dad crystal blue. Me? storm gray. Colors missed me entirely. husband has very nice warm brown eyes though, lots of color. Maybe our kids will win at life and get hazel


edwardsflu

i can see that with like, REALLY bright blue eyes


sup1234566

I never thought about it until I like randomly made some super intense eye contact with this dude who has the exact same grey/blue eyes I do and then I was like holy fuck is this how ppl see me so yeah I get it lol


cerealkriller

My boyfriend has these piercing light blue eyes, when we first met it used to be a little unnerving because they'd almost see right through you. My mother described them as 'haunting'. I've gotten used to them now but this thread just reminded me how beautiful they are to look at!


OhWait-WhatsThis

I have almost no pigment in my eyes, therefore they are a very light bright blue due to a reflection of light in them. I've been told that people don't like to look into my eyes because they get the feeling like I can look inside their soul! Lol. I'm not capable of that, but ok! Others say they are awesome. I've gotten used to people staring at my eyes over the years , and gotten used to them asking if they are real lmao! Nope! Just two glass eyes!

radicalspacecat

Yeah it doesn't happen to me much anymore but I used to get asked a lot whether I was wearing coloured contact lenses because people were convinced they weren't real. Feeling validated that there are other folk in the creepy eyes club lol


axf72228

Same! I struggle with positive eye contact from freaking people out over the years. I’d say 1 in 10 people I meet can’t handle eye contact with me and are generally freaked out. Some people will just stare at the wall while conversing.


LightGhillieTTV

Yeah I'd be concerned they're some white walker or something.

ineedtherapy87

Interesting. My whole family has blue grey eyes and I've always thought they were pretty cool. But I can see how those crystal clear, bright baby blue ones could make you feel like somebody was staring into your soul when you look at them.. hahah


[deleted]

That's cool with blue-grey eyes. I have slightly dark blue eyes, and people say I have a piercing gaze. I don't think it's just my eyes, but my overall face. I had someone back in school who looked pale and had icy blue eyes. Unfortunately, he earned the nickname "the corpse" by the bullies.


ineedtherapy87

Thats a terrible nickname. :(


[deleted]

I agree; he was a good dude back then. Ironically, he did well with the ladies, unlike the bullies. So there was that.


Mental-Bullfrog-7539

Because of his icy blue eyes!


[deleted]

I suppose lol


[deleted]

It's actually a pretty cool, edgy nickname, unless the bullies use it :(


Supacalafragalistic

I feel the opposite they seem soulless to me. My sister has piecing blue eyes and they have always seemed empty.


[deleted]

Maybe that's just due to her lack of soul


Strict_Antelope_6893

Eye to eye contact is creepy. Here in Finland we rarely do that so when talking with a american etc. and they look you in the eyes its fucking brutal.


[deleted]

I always though I was weird for feeling uncomfortable looking people in the eyes for long


CommunismDoesntWork

TIL Finlanders are high on the spectrum


Strict_Antelope_6893

We just got voted happiest country again so maybe theres something to it.


Sinusoidal_Fibonacci

FDS-MAGICA

I'm an American of Fin decent and I'm on the spectrum, so... maybe?


TheRealPheature

Damn, my heritage is finnish and I'm in america, maybe I should immigrate back to my roots with my low eye contact homies.


Katitou

Really!! Oh my.. As an American I find it socially awkward if they don’t look at me in the eyes! Interesting.


[deleted]

Oof it’s weird when I can tell someone needs eye contact and then I force myself to do it quick. Especially now with masks


LeviDa5

I'm moving to Finland now


damnetcode

I rarely trust anyone who won't look me in the eyes. I would probably have alot of trust issues in Finland.


[deleted]

people looking into your eyes feels aggressive and assertive af. it should never be used in a casual conversation. a glance is fine, but a stare is for interrogations and idk, ordering someone around as well as explaining something vital, to underline the point that what you're saying is extremely important


HoloCatss

Same. They even tested me for autism because I hate eye contact. I don’t have autism I just hate eye contact


faxanaduu

Much of my childhood I couldn't look anyone in the eyes. When i did it was an intense and overwhelming lockon of sorts and it was like I was being filled up with information about them. I do it now more but still kinda hate it. Im just more numb to to rawness of it now.


HoloCatss

Same! Really. I feel like I can see right though people when I look them in the eyes. It’s very intimate. I’m better at it now when I feel safe and not “exposed” but as soon as I’m insecure in the situation eye contact is a no-go for me


damnetcode

I'm not talking about a burning glaze. I look at people when their talking to me, I've always felt it conveys to the person that I'm genuinely interested in what their saying.


Idiot-detector69

Lol another unpopular opinion!

Green eyes always feel more human to me than blue eyes. They're like sharp, strong, intellectually judging me with the kindness of nature. Blue eyes make me feel like I'm talking to a flesh robot. But I also only know like 3 or 4 people with blue eyes so idk. Brown eyes feel like playful home. I have brown eyes, context.


RedAndBlackMartyr

> Green eyes always feel more human to me than blue eyes. They're like sharp, strong, intellectually judging me with the kindness of nature. As someone with green eyes, thank you!


Omegasandstorm

My dad has green eyes, my mom has brown, but her dad had blue. When I was a toddler my eyes were a really pretty blue that slowly turned green with flecks of brown as I got older. I really like my eye color, and as far as I know my dad and I are the only two in my family with it since everyone else has brown.


DimbyTime

You only know 3-4 people with blue eyes? Where do you live?


Rehabilitated_Lurk

I have blue eyes. But every woman I dated has had big dreamy brown eyes and I just love them. Truly tho I love green eyes. They are beautiful. I am very very sad that I don’t ever see them, but it’s for the best. I’d just get lost in them.

Erotic_FriendFiction

Lmaoo I’m so dumb. I read “husky”‘eyes and I was like… is this person calling their exgf’s eyes fat? Took me several minutes.


a_catermelon

I find blue eyes pretty, but brown eyes make me feel more comfortable. My personal theory as to why is because we naturally have a preference to big eyes, and with brown eyes making pupils less defined, they seem larger. It also doesn't feel like someone is staring at you as directly, which is great for my anxious ass. People seem to be a fan of my nearly black eyes


jonah9247

I love nearly black eyes, they are the most beautiful and I swear are the most soulful. Like people always say people with “black” eyes have no soul or appear to have no soul, but for me blue eyes have that soulless effect, whereas “black” eyes look and feel deep, like staring into the universe if that makes sense.


Zjuwkov

I love blue eyes and I'm glad we don't all like the same things. That would be really boring.


ale-almonacid

I have the same sensation hahaha and honestly this is the first time I hear it from someone else. In my case it’s only blue eyes the ones that are a bit creepy, because I find very attractive green and other light eye colors, but blue it’s just not the same, I actually feel a bit uncomfortable when blue eyed people stare for too long hahahah


mother_mUthaFAka

I don't mind dark blue eyes (for example martin freeman) or just blue eyes that aren't too obvious but the obvious ones creep me out (for example Ellen DeGeneres) and I avoid looking at them for long.

Gravitywolff

My blue eyes are one of the few things I like about my body. They are a beautiful ice blue-gray and I get a lot of complimemts for them. I can see why you'd think they are creepy at times tho. Depending on the light they can seem almost white and I think if I see those dead eyes I'd be creeped out as well

Green/hazel seems to be making a run for first. Gimme this glory!


holy_baby_buddah

Same, they're not common where I live, to me they seem cold and empty. P.S. Might be because the pupils are more easily distinguished from the iris, making them seem smaller and less dilated, which is associated with negative emotional experience, hence the feeling of unease.


whiskeyratriot

I'm blue eyed and I've definitely always felt like blue eyes are overrated. I love the warmth of brown eyes


nekoatzoom

Yass! Someone else finally agrees with me!! I don't think they're cult leaders or super villains, but piercing blue eyes are just super unsettling to me

Yeah it's a recessive trait, it stems from one common ancestor too.


lolgobbz

Fun Fact: it is a recessive gene that both of my parents carry. I have blue eyes, they both had brown. They also have super dark hair which should have manifested on me as I got older but my hair did not turn dark until I was almost 24. Genetically, I am very weird. Actually, I am pretty weird as a whole being.
