Eye color is a polygenic trait and is determined by the amount and type of pigments present in the eye. Human beings have many variations in eye color.

The vast majority of the world's people have dark eyes, ranging from brown to nearly black. Light brown eyes are also present in many people, but to a lesser extent.

People with very dark brown irises may appear to have black eyes. This is fairly common in people of African, Asian and, Native American descent.

Hazel is usually used to describe eyes that contain elements of both green eyes and brown eyes, sometimes transitioning from green at the edges to brown around the pupil.

Among human phenotypes, blue eyes are a relatively rare eye color.

Grey eyes are (an often lighter) variant of blue eyes. A wide variety of shades of grey exist, from the almost white (light grey) to dark.

Green eyes are rarer than brown, blue, and grey eyes.

A variant of blue eyes, blue-green eyes are quite rare.

Violet eyes are extremely rare and a variation of blue eyes.

Heterochromia (also known as a heterochromia iridis or heterochromia iridium) is an ocular condition in which one iris is a different color from the other iris (complete heterochromia), or where the part of one iris is a different color from the remainder (partial heterochromia or sectoral heterochromia). This uncommon condition usually results due to uneven melanin content.

Clear, silver-like purple eyes (after 1st birthday; deepen in color until onset of puberty)
No facial or body hair growth beyond what was already there at birth
Dark brown or black hair
Shimmering white skin that resist tanning and burning
Lack of menstruation cycle (in women)
Highly evolved immune system (has been known to resist every disease known to man so far)
Appear 5-20 years younger (after the age of 21, the aging process slows down greatly; it stops completely between the ages of 40-50)
Long life span (ranges from 130-170 years)
Perfect vision
Never overweight (their metabolism prevents the gaining of too much fat [a.k.a., partial lipodystophy])
Well-developed and proportioned bodies
Found mainly in women of Euro-American descent
Women are the primary carriers of the mutation
Children born from mothers with the mutation are also carriers
Mutation remains active generation after generation
Mutation grows stronger generation after generation


I find this really very hard to believe. - Bella

Same, but I only found this info to satisfy their interest.  Wish I had something like this...sheeze, what a blessing.

*Is Jealous* Wow what PURRDEE eyes! =D Mine are light blue-green, but that's nothing compared to purpel! [yes i meant to spell it that way. lol just say it with a fake french accent ;D] Who is that lady? Her eyes actually look more like a violet, like someone on the board mentioned earlier. And they're right, its a variant of a blue hue. But does anyone have any pics of PURPEL eyed individuals?   I heard its something like one in every 10,000 babies gets it. Wowness. I always wanted a red haired purple eyed baby ;D Think of how gorgeous THAT'D turn out. :]

Another Interesting Development

In ten percent of the population that has "Alexandria's Genesis," there is another characteristic of this mutation that is increasing on a yearly basis: the processing of human waste… or lack thereof.

As it turns out, in some of these people, the mutation is actually causing the digestive system to produce no waste. No one has found out how this is possible, but most scientists have a theory that may explain this increasing phenomenon.

The digestion process goes through its normal procedure until the digested product enters the large intestine. It is there, scientists suggest, that the large intestine absorbs everything and uses the product to keep the body in top shape. This makes the bladder completely useless, and leaves the small intestine and rectum as just an opening. It is not much of a theory, since very little is still known about "Alexandria's Genesis."

This doesn't make sense.  Food passes from the stomach to the small intestine, then through the small intestine to the large intestine.  How then can the small intestine be just an opening?

violet is more blue-purple, purple is just purple. Violet eyes can be called dark blue in some instances, but purple eyes??

i always thought violet was lighter, more towards lavender? violets (the flowers, i mean) are pretty light-colored purple.

.....man, was that off-topic.

I've heard of the mutation in a very small percentage of people called Alexandria's Genesis which gives them a deep purple colour for their eyes. I think it had something to do with a story that dates back to medieval days with witchcraft. Does anyone know if this is true? -is jealous- it must be so purrdy ;D I've seen somebody online once with purple tinted eyes [i don't think they were wearing contacts, unless they wear it everyday.] . I don't remember where it was, i think that it was somebody off of livejournal. Does anybody know if this is a true mutation? Myth or legend? DUNDUNDUN...  

bTw, i googled it some if you wanna read on it HERE.

Just to mention it, I went to the web page and read through it. At the bottom is this claim :
"In ten percent of the population that has "Alexandria's Genesis," there is another characteristic of this mutation that is increasing on a yearly basis: the processing of human waste… or lack thereof.

As it turns out, in some of these people, the mutation is actually causing the digestive system to produce no waste. No one has found out how this is possible, but most scientists have a theory that may explain this increasing phenomenon.

Since I am sure that if 1 in every 10 people never had to urinate or defecate it would be a much bigger story, I have problems believing this webpage.

Interesting topic. I've known about this for a long time, though I can't remember where I actually learned/heard about it. I would give anything for violet eyes. They're so beautiful

No, I have never met someone with purple eyes. Seems like it would be a cool thing, though.
