The rarest eye color in the world... is pitch black
Not red, or violet, or gray... but black
Lots of people think they have black eyes, but they really don’t. They're actually very dark brown.
In this video I break down:
- Aniridia, the unique eye condition that gives 0.00001% of people truly pitch black eyes
- Why these pitch black eyes are unfortunately associated with all kinds of vision problems
- What the world looks like to people with aniridia
While these extremely rare black eyes may look cool, they come with a lot of baggage!
