You may want to take another look at the color of your eyes in the mirror because recent research has revealed that our eye color is a sign of possible eye diseases that we may experience in the future. The saying ‘Eyes are the mirror of the heart’ has come to life. Because the vascular structure behind our eyes can now give us information about our heart health.
‘I CAN TELL FROM YOUR EYES’
Eye colors and vascular structure are reported as a sign of diseases. The disease can be detected in your eyes before it starts. According to the research reported by ATV Main News, the risk of tumors and retinal calcification is higher in green and blue eyes, and the rate of cataract or corneal transplant rejection is higher in brown or dark eyes. Not only eye color but also the vascular network behind the eye gives clues about our heart health.
DISEASE ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO EYE COLOR
Eye Health and Diseases Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sevil Karaman said, “Light sensitivity, diseases where the visual center is affected as a result of more light entering the back of the eye, are seen a little more in patients with blue eyes and light colored eyes. So, are these brown-eyed people lucky? Actually, they also have problems. Brown eyes mean more pigment, there are some diseases specific to glaucoma. The diameter, hardness and size of the veins behind the eye can be measured and the risks can be calculated.
