Does your eye color affect your vision?
Not exactly — but it can impact how comfortable your eyes feel in certain situations 👇
🎨 Lighter eyes (blue, green, gray)
➖ Less melanin = more light sensitivity
➖ More glare discomfort in bright sunlight
➖ Higher risk of UV-related eye issues (like cataracts, pinguecula, and even snow blindness)
🟤 Darker eyes (brown, dark hazel)
➖ More melanin = natural light filter
➖ Better contrast + less glare
➖ Slightly lower risk of UV-related damage
💡 But here’s the bottom line:
👉 No matter your eye color, you need sunglasses with 100% UV protection 🕶️
👉 And regular eye exams to catch issues early
Your eyes are one-of-a-kind—take care of them with custom protection that fits you.
