How We Get Our Eye Color

 






 Eye color is determined by the amount and distribution of melanin in the iris, controlled by genetics:


1. Melanin Levels: High melanin leads to brown eyes, while lower levels produce blue, green, or gray eyes.



2. Genes: Multiple genes influence eye color, with two main ones (OCA2 and HERC2) playing significant roles.



3. Variation: Eye color can appear different due to lighting or health conditions, but it generally stabilizes in early childhood.
