A member asked:
I'm wondering why are blue eyed people more likely to face early blindness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are not: Although macular degeneration, the most common cause of blindness in the elderly, is more common in blue-eyed individuals, being blue eyed is not associated with blindness per se.
