Yes, it has been clinically proven that blue irises scatter and transmit more unwanted light into the retina than brown irises. See the work of TJ van den Burg, a Netherlands physicist specializing in intraocular light scatter.

Yes because blue is alot lighter than brown so it will be more affected just like how white people are more likely to get sun damaged than black people because the color is darker and can take more damage

Are light colored eyes more sensitive to sunlight?

Yes, Blue eyes are more sensitive to the sun. Also persons with blue eyes tend to be lighter skinned so they are physically more sensitive to the sun. My husband's family have a genetic tendency toward Albinism having 3 family members in 2 generations. They began with pink eyes (no pigment) and developed to very pale blue eyes with age. They are extremely light sensitive having to wear 100%UV block glasses (look like mirrored glasses or privacy windows on vehicles).

What eye color is most sensitive to sunlight?

Dilation of the pupil occurs when not enough light is exposed in the area. If plentiful light was to be exposed without warning, the reaction of the person would be determined by how used they are to light or how their DNA codes for it. This determines how sensitive to light they are by default. Eye color should not play a role in how a person reacts to light. Hope this helped

Are there more brown eyes than blue eyes?

not necessaryly. The more melatonin you've got in your eyes, the darker is its color. Now, with dark eyes you're best prepared for locations where the sun is shining bright, cause there won't pass as much light to your retina as if you had blue eyes. On the other hand, people with blue eyes have an advantage in areas with dim light, because their iris lets more ligth through and so they may be ready to see light where people with darker eyes still can't do so. In short: In Africa people profit from brown eyes wheras people in Skandinavia do so with blue eyes.


What organ in your eye is sensitive to light?

The pupil in your eye (the black center) is what controls how much light is allowed to enter your eye. The wider the pupil is, the more light is let in. When your eyes feel sensitive to light, it is because the pupil is letting in excessive light. Sometimes, it is a neurological event that makes your eyes sensitive to light, such as a migraine headache. In any case, the area of the brain that is affected by light sensitivity is the portion that is dedicated to the processing of visual information, and that is the occipital cortex.


Why is a light sensor better than your eyes?
