Abstract

The distinctive tint that a person's eyes exhibit is known as their eye color. It can include rich browns, vivid blues, enthralling greens, gentle grays, and charming hazels. The amount and distribution of melanin in the iris, the colored portion of the eye, determines the color. Every eye color has an attractive appeal of its own and could vary tremendously from person to person.

It's amidst the numerous unique traits that set each person apart. Due to heritage and the distinct gene combination that each person acquires from their parents, everyone has various eye colors. Melanin and lip chrome are the two principal pigments that are involved. Individual variances in the genes governing the creation and distribution of these pigments may contribute to variations in eye color. Thus, the stunning arrays of eye hues we see in the world are determined by a genetic lottery. The eye contributes in object representation along with color, light, and depth perception. This article addresses the frequency of eye color among individuals of various ages. In the current research, seven out of a hundred randomly selected individuals were discovered to have remarkably varied eye colors, reaming with brown and black shades and pertaining to varying age groups. It doesn't seem to gender-specific. It is comprised of five females (♀) and two adolescents (♂) in the age group of Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. Black and brown were the most often noticed hues in the most recent investigation.
