A member asked:
Is it true that people with blue eyes are more sensative sunlight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally true: Blue eyes let a little more light in and sensitivity is more possible. Brown eyes block light better. Another issue is the pupil size which can vary independently of the iris color.
