Lipochrome and eye color?

[PjSon]

If you have brown eyes, does it necessary mean you have in absolute terms less lipochrome or is the ratio to eumelanin just higher?

Whatever is under brown.

Whatever is under brown.

is amber not covered by melanin too?

if you have amber eyes lipochrome level is higher than eumelanin level if you have brown eyes it means you have higher eumelanin level than lipochrome level

if you have amber eyes lipochrome level is higher than eumelanin level if you have brown eyes it means you have higher eumelanin level than lipochrome level

So an increase in lipochrome would mean a change in eye colour ?

im asking whether brown eyes are less likely to have high amounts of lipochrome, or is it possible that high amounts of lipochrome is just covered by eumelanin

if your eumelanin is high it'll take the pheno as brown first you need to decrease eumelanin with stroma laser

it depends on your genotype if your parents have both brown eyes(if your parents have brown and green yes it's covered by eumelanin) and if you have stroma laser(decreasing eumelanin) eye color will change to blue not green or amber
