Every iris is incredibly unique. 👁️✨
Just like fingerprints, no two iris patterns are exactly the same. Your iris play an important role in controlling how much light enters your eye. The eye color itself isn’t created by blue, green, or hazel pigments, but is actually determined by the amount of melanin in your iris—the same natural pigment that gives color to your skin and hair. More melanin usually means darker eyes, while less melanin allows light to scatter, creating blue or gray eyes. But melanin does more than determine eye color—it also helps protect your eyes by absorbing excess light and reducing glare.
We love getting a close-up look at the incredible details that make each patient’s eyes unique. Don’t forget to schedule your yearly comprehensive eye exams help keep those amazing eyes healthy
