People can have different color eyes: someone they are black, someone - brown, one nature has awarded blue eyes, others - green.But have you ever seen someone with a natural purple eyes?Most likely no.Although this eye color really exists.The reasons for its occurrence include two components: one of them is related to the myth, the other - with reality.
ability to have purple eyes associated with the disorder, called "The Origin of Alexandria."Despite the fact that the presence of the disease is unknown in today's time, it is possible that it existed in the past.According to legend, a few centuries ago in a small Egyptian village there was a mysterious flash of light in the sky that were exposed to all residents.After that they began to children born with pale skin and violet eyes.The first such child was a girl named Alexander, who was born in England in 1329.At birth, her eyes were gray or blue color, and then for six months turned purple.Subsequently, the inheritance of eye color and passed on her four daughters.However, they were healthy and lived to a hundred years.It is known that people with purple eyes, different perfect vision.While there may be a natural state, not the result of a genetic defect or mutation.
Violet eyes can be explained from a medical point of view.This is due to albinism - a genetic disorder caused by the altered gene that prevents the development of melanin.This condition results in the absence of pigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes.Along with these symptoms a person with albinism may have violet eyes.In fact, the absence of melanin generates red eye, since all the vessels become visible through the iris.Sometimes more is reflected in the eyes of blue collagen.Nevertheless, in very rare cases, the red and blue colors can be connected to form a purple color.But there is another explanation.People suffering albino hypersensitivity to sunlight.Iris allows light to penetrate the eye, and this may contribute to the appearance of purple.
Speaking of this genetic mutation, not to mention the famous actress Elizabeth Taylor.Her violet eyes, white skin and dark hair captivated millions of people all over the world and brought her immense popularity.Although currently under a lot of controversy about whether Taylor's violet eyes from nature.In favor of natural color indicates the fact that at that time there was no contact lenses.Production of lenses began in 1983, and Elizabeth Taylor with purple eyes appeared on screen in the role of Cleopatra in 1963.Many, however, believe that her eyes were not purple and gray-blue.As is known, purple - is one of the intermediate colors between blue and gray.
So, based on the presence of purple eye is a genetic defect.Terms of origin associated with both descriptions, which, unfortunately, can not be verified, and with albinism, which most of us have a clear idea.Be that as it may, the opportunity to have a natural purple eyes is not excluded, although it is a very rare condition.
