Does Your
EYEEYE CCOOLLOORR
R e v e a l
Your
Health?
For poets, the eye is the window to the soul, but the eye can
actually be more accurately viewed as the window to one's health.
Those green eyes that are so enchanting may pose a higher risk of
eye cancer. And those with chocolate eyes may have a faster
reaction time compared to those with blue eyes. In spite of the
different studies that suggest that health risks or physical abilities
might be related to the eye color, it's difficult to predict one's health
by just basing on the color alone. However, there are some
cautionary notes that you may consider about your eye color.
BLUE EYES
people with irises of blue or
light-colored tend to be
more sensitive to light. This is
due to the sparsity of the
light-absorbing pigment in
the eye. The more pigment
there is, the lesser light gets
through the iris.
eyes that are light-colored may
have an increased risk for cancer.
This is because lighter eyes have
lesser pigment to protect them
from the harmful ultra-violet rays.
In this case, people with light iris
color need to be more diligent in
wearing UV-protected sunglasses.
Moreover, though this is not
directly related to vision, those
with green, gray, and blue eyes
tend to be more skinned and are
at high risk for skin cancer.
GREEN, GREY,
& BLUE EYES
BROWN EYES
people with brown eyes have a slightly better reaction times when
they participate in athletic activities than with light-eyed people.
There are various changes in the appearance of the eyes
that may signal some underlying conditions that should be
checked by an eye doctor.
 Red Whites - healthy eyes have bright whites, thus,
when the white turns red, this is a red flag. Red is a sign
of infection, allergies, or dryness. Though this can often
be managed with over-the-counter products like eye
drops and allergy medications, it is important to see an
eye doctor, especially when the redness persists.
 Yellow Whites - there is liver impairment when one
experiences yellowing of the eyes, also known as
jaundice. When the yellowing is new and have never
discussed it with your doctor, immediately call for an
appointment.
 White Corneal Ring - the changes that occur in the
cornea make it look like the eye is changing. For
example, cholesterol deposits in the cornea can
create an appearance of a new white ring. Discuss
with your doctor if you happen to see the color of the
ring around the eyes has changed.
 Hazy Pupils - when cataract start to develop, it can
create a visible blue/white fogginess over the pupil of
the eye.
Eye Conditions to Watch Out For
An annual eye exam is highly important in order to
maintain eye and vision health and overall wellness. The
exam will be helpful for you to stay on top of the
changes in the blood vessels of the eye that may
reflect the effects of diabetes, glaucoma, or high blood
pressure. Immediately knowing the condition of the eye
through https://twitter.com/MississaugaEye leads to
early detection and prevention, thus one can maintain
a healthy eye and vision.
