Myth or Fact: People with Light Eyes are More Sensitive to SunlightI doubt it. The colored part of your eyes doesn't pick up light, the pupil is where the cones and rods are located.Aren't blue eyes more sensitive to light? I wonder if this would cause that.
If you have blue, green, or gray eyes, you may have noticed yourself squinting into the sunlight more than your brown-eyed counterparts or needing a respite from the fluorescent lights at work.
You may wonder if it’s all in your head -- or is there truth to the rumor that people with light eyes are more sensitive to sunlight?
According to Duke ophthalmologist Anupama Horne, MD, the answer is yes -- your baby blues are indeed likely contributing to your squinting and discomfort under bright lights.
