While this petal like pattern is recognizable in the summer eye, care must be taken not to confuse the summer base layer with a winter overlay with similar characteristics. The eye may appear to be blue, or a shade of green/hazel/amber, but the petal shape wills will be distinctive and slightly darker than the rest of the iris. Often called crypts for short, or petals, these are diamond shaped structures that resemble uneven petals. The primary characteristic of the summer eye pattern are what’s know as Fuch’s crypts. The blue summer eye pattern is quite distinctive and relatively easy to identify.
Notice that there is no base layer for autumn types, usually autumn eyes have a blue summer base or brown winter base. At times it can be difficult to determine the base layer because of heavy pigmentation in the overlays discussed later.įor color analysis we are looking at four options for the base layer eye pattern: a blue summer base, blue winter base, brown winter base, and blue-green spring base. Some brown eyes show a portion of the blue beneath in the form of green, but others have heavy melanin deposits and appear brown all the way through. Some change very rapidly, but it is the deposit of pigment in the form of melanin that accounts for this change. We can easily show this by remembering that all babies are born with blue eyes. When we talk about the eye for color analysis, it’s important to note that all eyes are inherently blue. The base layer of the eye is the one that sits below all the others. Outer layer of fibroblasts and melanocytes.įor the purposes of color analysis we are not considered with the physiological back layer of the iris, only the outer layers of the iris.Stroma sheet – the colorful part of the iris.Pigmented epithelium – double layer of brown cells.
When it comes to the anatomy of the iris from a scientific perspective, we are actually discussing five layers, from base to the front layer they are: Other aspects of the eye, such as lower eyelid and vessel colors in the sclera can have minor indications as to season. The portion of the eye we are concerned with during color analysis is primarily the iris, or the colored portion surrounding the pupil.
