Why does a fetus at 32 weeks has blue eyes regardless of what it real color will be? what cause this phenomena?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melanocyte migration: The melanocytes destined to migrate to the iris are not mature yet for several months after birth - which is why a lot of newborns have light-color eyes but they turn darker as they go past their first birthday. This is normal.
