People with purple eyes: a phenomenon near us

Human nature is amazing and mysterious. Some modifications of appearance cause horror, the rest - delight, and even shock. Unusual eye color in nature is not so rare. Sometimes the iris of the child turns out to be quite a fantastic shade. Emerald, multicolored, turquoise ... Sometimes the genes are formed so that even people with violet eyes are born . It is about this phenomenon that we should talk in more detail.

The color of the eyes in a person directly depends on the pigment contained in the iris. It is located in the mesodermal and ectodermal layer. Another very important role in the resulting color of the eyes is played by vessels, as well as individual fibers of the shell. Coupled with melanin, their density determines the specific shade. As a result, can appear amber eyes, bright green, dark blue and even purple. However, the existence of the latter is still in question.

People with purple eyes, photos of which you have probably met in various sources, most often use special tint contact lenses. Also there is the application of "Photoshop". However, there is an opinion that the famous actress Elizabeth Taylor had eyes that were purple. And in those days there were no lenses, and Also a special technique for changing the shade. But in this case, scientists argue that such an unusual color of the eyes was the result of an effect that gave light on the set. In fact, they argue, the actress possessed gray-blue eyes.

There is an opinion that such a shade of the iris may arise as a result of an extremely rare pathology or medical disease. People with purple eyes are a huge rarity. Therefore, some scientists attribute this phenomenon to one of the manifestations of the Marchesani syndrome. This disease is transmitted exclusively by inheritance and belongs to the class of pathologies. Patients suffering from this disease tend to have low growth, poorly developed upper and lower limbs, and the presence of various vision problems. However, to date, there is no reliable evidence that people with purple eyes have become owners of their phenomenon because of the syndrome of Markesani.

Another version of the origin of the iris of this unusual and beautiful shade is albinism. Genetic disorder in the body, associated with the complete absence of melanin pigment, affects all aspects of appearance. It affects not only the hair and skin color, but also the eyes. In many albino humans, the iris has a red tint, as all the vessels are perfectly visible. However, there are exceptions. It is possible that people with Purple eyes are the owners of a large amount of blue collagen. By mixing with a red tinge, a semblance of violet appears. However, most often this color is formed due to the high photosensitivity of albinos.

Due to what mutation or disease people with purple eyes appear, it is still unknown. However, this phenomenon always causes real enthusiasm for the environment. The percentage of the owners of the eyes of the violet shade is extremely low. Therefore, every such person is a real one.
