What’s the big deal? It was easy to predict the eye color of my children.

But unlike you and your wife, not everyone is an albino (or a Han Chinese, or a Hottentot, or...) Regards,

It's very easy to predict eye color once the kid is born ~ recalling that they all have blue eyes at that time.

If they have red/orange pigment and no black/brown pigment anywhere, odds are good the kid will have blue or green eyes, or, in some cases, orange eyes.

One of the really neat parts is that you can have pigmentation BEHIND the lens and pigmentation IN FRONT OF the lens(or on the back of the cornea to be specific). That feature changes everything.

I had green eyes for all my life until I had cataract surgery and the surgeon managed to change my eyes to deep blue.

Not nearly so exotic.
