Eyes

So I'm going to start out my book with something very simple, but INFURIATING.

Eyes.

So first of all, eyes are wonderful.

BUT I was in this "wtf fact" book on WATTPAD, and I saw that only 2% of the population has green eyes, which I knew already, but it was the comments that made me mad.

Literally 90% of the people were like:
"I feel so special!"
"I have green eyes!"
"OMGOMGOMG HARRY STYLES"

I get that some people do have green eyes, but I highly doubt that everyone that commented there actually had green eyes. I'm sorry, it's just really unlikely.

And there was a bunch of people who just totally went overboard.

"Oh! Yeah, my eyes are green sometimes, but then they change to blue, brown, red, yellow, purple, and oh I forgot they turn silver too!"

No, just no.

YOUR
EYES
DO
NOT
CHANGE
COLORS!

Wearing different colored clothing can make them seem a different color, and sometimes the vessels around your eyes expand and contract, making them seem lighter or darker, but THEY DONT ACTUALLY CHANGE COLOR. And if they do...:

( I got this online..)

The Darker Side of Change
A change of hue can indicate something is wrong. Heterochromia, a condition in which a person's eyes are two different colors, can be an inherited condition or caused by trauma, which could shake loose some of the melanocytes, making the eye appear lighter or darker.

Heterochromia can also be a sign of disease, says Dr. Schwab, such as Horner's syndrome, Fuch's heterochromic iridocyclitis or pigmentary glaucoma. Late-stage diabetics may see their eyes darken. But in all cases, changing eye color is very, very rare, says Dr. Schwab. "If you have a change of color, it needs to be addressed by an ophthalmologist," he says.
