Old Somali people and blue eyes

Post by Oxidant »

My grandma is 75 years old and she has blue eyes, I swear it's amazing. It's not very visible but you notice it when you look directly into her eyes.

Everyone in my family has pitch black eyes, even the old folks in their 70s and the few in their 80s.

What I find revolting is Somalis with orange-yellowish scleras

Causes

It results from cholesterol deposits in or hyalinosis of the corneal stroma and may be associated with ocular defects or with familial hyperlipidemia.

It can be a sign of disturbance in lipid metabolism, an indicator of conditions such as hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipoproteinemia or hyperlipidemia.

Unilateral arcus is a sign of decreased blood flow to the unaffected eye, due to carotid artery disease or ocular hypotony.

Somalis with light eyes other than old folks do not exist. Pictures or it never happened.

Somalis are the darkest people on the planet after the Southern Sudanese and Senegalese.

Ha, we are hijacking the topic.

But a small comparison:

Bantus (South Africa, unmixed)
