in other words: what causes the difference between A10 and A50 below?
wikipedia says:
Eye color is a polygenic phenotypic character determined by two distinct factors: the pigmentation of the eye's iris and the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris.
en.wikipedia.org
i'm guessing "frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris" is responsible for lightness / darkness (rather than hue). but what exactly does that mean?
i'm like a D40 and wish to move to D30 or even lighter green. i'm taking msm pills and it seems to help a bit. but i'm curious to learn more about the underlying mechanism. any ideas?
