Gene, Gene The Dancing Machine must have something to do with this. (any Gong Show fans?)
That dance alone was worth $516.32!
interesting...but...
i have brown eyes. my dad has brown eyes and my
mom has hazel eyes.
pat has blue eyes. his parents both have blue eyes.
all three of our kids have... blue eyes!
odd...
IOW, that kid be yours after all.
The surgery simply removed the pigment on the front of the lens.
They are returning to green although the formerly "black ring" is at present only a "brown ring".
I'd always thought it odd to see someone with one green eye and one blue eye. Now I know the secret.
Neither of my parents has green eyes. One has bright blue and the other brown. My kids have light hazel with a black ring ~ the ring didn't form until they were 9 or 10 years of age.
What dolor eyes did the mailman have? :)
mailman???
um, i'm the one with brown eyes. and trust me,
i was there. ;) the kids all have their daddy's
blue eyes.
wow, interesting!
i had laser surgery to correct my vision
about 8 yrs ago. i don't think my eye
color was affected tho.
Did the postman ring once or twice?
Same situation in my family. Dad brown-eyed, Mom blue-eyed, but Dad carried a blue recessive gene. Of their six kids, only one...that would be me...came out with brown eyes. Four had blue eyes and one had hazel.
You are not alone! :-)
Pardon, but my kids are MINE. No doubt there.
see, i've always thought that too, i'm not sure,
but i think the article said something different.
they compaired the genetics to a lightbulb. brown
eyes vs. blue eyes is one lightbulb and hazel/green
is a different lightbulb.
Laser surgery should have no effect. Cataract surgery is much more robust. The eye is sliced further and the contents of the corneal sac are removed ~ the lens, debris, stuff, and pigment (if there was pigment in there).
My eyes change color occasionally. Explain that one! No; I don't wear contact lenses.
well, patton just peered at my peepers and said
they're the same eyes he's been looking at for
some 30 years or so. :)
1. Build up of heme in the bloodstream;
2. need for blood dialysis;
3. you're from Kentucky, named "Harris" and have blue skin (which is real ~ and treatable).
This is very interesting, thanks for posting. My eye color looks very much like the one in the center. Green with a dark outline and brownish around the pupil. But up until I was about 9 they were a deep blue with the dark outline. Curiously, both my parents have/had blue eyes, my mother's were very startlingly light blue, and 3 of my grandparent's had brown eyes. My mother's parents both had brown with flecks of green. My siblings have blue and gray eyes.
