mood: ha ha ha

Speaking of witches...

Brown eyes light shade and without a picture:
You are a sincere and pure person, you have many wonderful qualities, but witchcraft, alas, is not one of them. Perhaps this is for the best - are you sure that it is very good to be a witch?

Just brown eyes:
Perhaps there is some kind of power hidden in you: the darker your eyes, the more likely you are to discover the desired talent over time.

Completely dark brown, almost black eyes (the iris almost merges with the pupil):
This is a definite sign of witchcraft. Surely they have said about you more than once that you are a person "with the evil eye"But look, if this is really the case, then you should learn to take yours as soon as possible. magical power under control.

Brown eyes with green highlights:
You have natural abilities, but if you do not find yourself a talented teacher (healer, psychic), then they will not develop. In order to become a real witch(s), you need outside help. However, even with undeveloped talent, you must listen to yourself and trust your intuition and dreams, which are sometimes prophetic.

Brown eyes with yellow splashes:
Brown eyes with yellow splashes are evidence of your cunning and resourcefulness; you have the talent to get out of all situations and get away with it. Whether this can be attributed to witchcraft - decide for yourself.

Light green eyes:
You are attractive to people of the opposite sex, you have a magnetic effect on them. I would say that this gift is a special kind of witchcraft.

Dark green eyes:
You have enormous witchcraft power, perhaps there were sorcerers in your family and you received your gift by inheritance. You can be advised to quickly find a person who will teach you to use your natural strength and teach you to avoid temptations and traps. You simply do not have the right to use your talent to harm others!

Green eyes with yellow splashes:

You are fully aware of your strength, even if it is not great, but you know how to use it, and it constantly helps you in life. It would be good if you did not cross the boundaries of what is permitted.

Green eyes with brown spots:
You have no witchcraft power, your feet are firmly planted on the ground, and mysticism doesn’t bother you at all. Don’t worry, you will definitely get yours - if not with witchcraft, then with something quite real, tangible!

Light green eyes with dark green rim:
This is very rare eyes. They say that their owner understands people so well, feels all their desires and captures thoughts, that as an enemy he can be very scary. However, by nature he (s) is benevolent - like strong beast, who walks through the jungle and does not bother anyone unnecessarily. Do you have eyes like that? We can sympathize with you: you are not interested in life, your talent has given you the opportunity to see through everything, and therefore you lack novelty in life.

Blue eyes (sky color):
You are completely deprived of a magical gift. Don't be discouraged, instead you have a child's clarity of mind and spontaneity. There is no need to put on the mask of a witch (s) - it is alien to you. Even if someone were to teach you witchcraft, you still wouldn’t succeed - what can you do, it’s not in you!

Blue eyes with green or yellow flecks:
You have some minimal ability for witchcraft, perhaps you could (if there was a teacher) learn a couple of spells and successfully apply them in practice. But think about it, do you need it? Leave witchcraft to someone else, it's not your element. And those little abilities that you have manifest themselves in everyday life- charm is also a certain (and important) form of your influence on others.

Gray eyes without drawing and color inclusions:
You are smart and attractive, but lack the gift of witchcraft. But you don't get upset about it. You are so reasonable that you understand that being a witch is quite difficult, and not everyone can do it.

Gray eyes with dark rim:
You love to fantasize, you undoubtedly have witchcraft power, but it is hidden deep in your soul, manifesting itself only in dreams and sudden insights. If you have such eyes, then you simply must believe in yourself - your guesses, as a rule, are unmistakable, and your ideas can bring you unprecedented success. And many people consider you lucky, right? And all because your witchcraft gift to take care of you.

Gray eyes with greenish splashes:

You can, to one degree or another, influence people, force them to submit to your will. However, be careful - your gift is not powerful enough to work long time. Try not to use it for too long - build all your relationships with people primarily on the arguments of reason, and use your gift as an auxiliary weapon.

Gray eyes with yellow specks:

You are a real sorcerer(s). There is no doubt that you have an amazingly powerful gift. But this is not only and not so much a pleasure as a responsibility - you willy-nilly have to be more attentive to people, try to prevent black thoughts from appearing in your head and maintain your mood in the sunny phase. If you don't take care of yourself, you can harm others; the whole point is that you influence them without even realizing it. Your gift is your cross. However, it’s not a burden to bear, is it?

Have you ever wondered what your eyes can tell others? It is believed that the eyes are the most informative source of information about any person. Eye color can tell a lot about your character, your... internal energy and even about what your soulmate should be like.

Astrology can add to this the fact that everything is reflected in our eyes. color palette planets of the birth horoscope. Let's look deep into history to find out why nature rewarded us different colors eye. It turns out that as a result of archaeological research it was established that the indigenous population of the Earth was brown-eyed.

Everything changed after one day the Earth encountered a comet and changed its orbit, and with it the climate. With the onset of the Ice Age, the question arose about the survival of the human population as a whole - the natural energy of brown-eyed people was now not enough to ensure life and growth of human population.B extreme conditions mutation comes to the aid of living organisms.

As a result of the mutation, a new breed of energetic people appeared. They easily became the initiators of new things, took responsibility for the destinies of other people. They had fantastic eyes of cold colors: gray, blue, dark blue. The excess energy of gray-eyed people balanced the insufficient energy of people with brown eyes and ensured people not only survival in new climatic conditions, but also numerical growth. Millennia have passed.

As a result joint marriages between people with gray and brown eyes there appeared people who had eyes of other shades: green, gray-brown, gray-green, green-brown and even gray-green-brown... Gradually people forgot about the Ice Age - humanity adapted to new conditions existence. But, nevertheless, if you look closely at modern owners of both gray and brown eyes, you can easily notice the difference in the behavior of these two types of people: the first strive to act, the second to receive. That is, the first strive to free themselves from excess energy, the latter, on the contrary, strive to compensate for the lack of their own at the expense of the strength of other people. We will call the first “potential donors”, the second “potential vampires”. People with eyes mixed type(green, gray-brown, etc.), have a complex energy orientation: they cannot be classified as either donors or vampires. They exhibit the qualities of one or the other - depending on “which foot they start from.”

Green eyes

Green color is a uniform mixture of two colors: blue and yellow. You are characterized by a uniform mixture of two energies - the donor and the vampire. The uniform overlay of two polar colors is a guarantee that you, unlike people with gray-brown eyes, do not go to extremes, but look for the “golden mean” in life. Therefore, if you are the owner of emerald eyes, your main goal in life - to reach agreement with yourself. Whatever you think about, whatever you do, you need to be proud of your thoughts and actions. It is important for you that the people you value are satisfied with you. If you have nothing to reproach yourself with, the world is bright and joyful. You firmly know what qualities you yourself, what your friends and the object of your heartfelt affection should have. If a person meets your requirements, you would rather let your skin be removed than a hair fall. from his head. But woe to those who do not meet your requirements! With him you allow so much negligence that you immediately (sometimes without any reason) find an enemy.

Compatibility

To simplify your life in marriage, I advise green-eyed people to connect their lives with similar lovers of the “golden mean”, that is, with owners of the same green eyes, as well as with those whose eyes have green tint. Astrologically, you are the most gentle people in the world. The color of your eyes is a mixture of the energies of Venus and Neptune. You always love sincerely, passionately and are distinguished by loyalty to those you choose. Friends value you for your reliability and kindness, enemies hate you for your integrity and firmness. You are a good listener and interlocutor. You are stable, but not unimaginative. In general, you belong to the most successful category of people.

Blue (blue, gray) eyes

So, if your eyes are cold in color, remember: nature requires a constant release of energy from you. Therefore, you will not win the lottery, influential people will not help you move forward in life. Fate will not give you a gift. For every smile she will demand maximum effort from you. This is your share. And this share is wonderful, because your energy is the energy of a breakthrough to the goal, the energy of transforming the world. You are a creative person. And all the world around us- just material for your whimsical ideas. You are allowed everything you sincerely want. Don't be afraid of resistance from others. People with warm color the eye will perceive any of your projects as truth. They will be happy that you exist - the bearer of absolute truth, who will save them from the painful search for their own path. Now imagine that, waking up in the morning, you created a plan for the day that looks something like this: break through four brick walls with your forehead. Labor the day is over, and you only broke through three walls, you didn’t get to the fourth. Unspent energy will deprive you of peace of mind, demanding a way out. It can be released by talking for a few minutes with a brown-eyed person - and your dissatisfaction will disappear as if by hand. The excess energy will leave you most quickly and painlessly you in the process of communicating with a partner of the opposite sex who has warm eye color.

Compatibility

The owner of brown eyes will be the best companion for your successful journey along the path of life. With him, your energy exchange is ideal: you willingly dump excess energy, he gratefully accepts it. According to astrology, your eyes are a mixture of the energies of the Sun and Venus with an admixture of Saturn. That's why you endowed with attractiveness, sharp mind, sensuality, wit, temperament. You are sociable and easily get along with people. You are very amorous, but as quickly as you light up, you cool down just as quickly. We can say about you that you are extremely hot-tempered, but you easily forget grievances. Your disadvantage can be considered frequent whims

Brown (black) eyes

If you are the owner of brown eyes, then, having set a goal for yourself, do not prepare yourself for exhausting work, but, first of all, rely on the ability to please people. Don’t worry, you are also an active transformer of the world, with the only difference that you carry out your projects with someone else's hands. You should have enough wisdom not to rush into battle with your visor open. Remember: you will always be worried about lack own strength. Consequently, attractiveness, capriciousness and the ability to wait are your three trump cards. Learn to use them skillfully - and those around you will quarrel over the right to present you with everything you want. Remember that blue-eyed and gray-eyed people strive to dump their excess energy into you: you can either accept, which will give them relief, or refuse, thereby forcing them either to suffer, or to look for another “receiver.” To prevent the second scenario, take care of your attractiveness. Do not be careless in your clothing or hairstyle, unless this is a tactical ploy. Watch your speech: slang words do not suit you - use only carefully selected words and phrases that will work for your image.

Compatibility

Choose your life partner from a crowd of admirers based on the principle: who is capable of sacrificing more for you. Constantly demand at least the easiest sacrifices. This will prolong the life of the chosen one, making it meaningful. The most reliable foundation for creating your family will be those with blue and gray eyes. Being nearby, you will draw so much energy from them that any worldly sea will seem to you no deeper than knee-deep. Astrology will add that your eyes are a mixture of the energies of the Sun and Mars, and therefore you can love very selflessly, have a strong will and a decisive character. You are often jealous, although you do not try to advertise this quality of yours. You can always rely on you - you will not let you down. A feature of your character can be considered individualism, the desire to do everything on your own, the ability to achieve great success. But you absolutely cannot stand pressure from the outside.

Gray-brown eyes

If you have gray veined eyes brown color or brown eyes with gray splashes, you will not be offended by the number of people who kneel before you. True, it will take a long time before you develop a relationship with one of them that can be characterized by the word “constancy.” The reason is yours a contradictory, incomprehensible character both for those around you and for you yourself, which is formed by mixed energy. In a person with gray-brown eyes, both a donor and a vampire coexist at the same time. And each of them persistently demands the right to life. That’s why sometimes you want to feel someone’s limitless power over you. It was the donor who spoke to you. But this mood is suddenly replaced by a thirst for tyranny. This means that suddenly the donor inside you has given way to a vampire. It is not easy for you to live in the world. But it’s not easy for the people around you either!

Compatibility

Most strong family you can create with the owner the same as yours, gray-brown eyes. Only with it will your energy exchange be perfect. Astrologically, the color of your eyes belongs to two opposite luminaries - the Moon and the Sun with an admixture of Mars. You have great vitality, initiative and a restless character. The color of your eyes indicates the passion of a person and his love of love. No obstacles on the way to your adored object can stop you. Although your obsession can bring you not only the joy of victories, but also the bitterness of hasty decisions.

Gray-green eyes

You have probably already realized that the presence of green in the eyes is a signal of a deterrent that does not allow the elements hidden in the depths of the soul to fully manifest themselves. Thus, aggressiveness, self-confidence, despotism inherent in people with gray eyes cannot be fully realized. least if this person's eyes sometimes turn greenish. Your plans are bold and daring. Your energy is tenfold enough to realize them, but many of them are never destined to come true. The reason? You cannot conflict with people dear to you, you cannot be cruel with those you love. Without this, serious changes cannot be made.

Compatibility

You always choose a partner yourself, but it is not enough for you to have a feeling that incinerates just one heart. If your lover does not glow with reciprocal fire, then your ardor also fades away. And if the flame spreads to your second heart, then you are fanatically devoted to your choice. And only one circumstance can make you change your choice: if you feel that someone needs your love much more than the current chosen one. And your love is always people with green-brown eyes need. They are the ones who can make you truly happy in your family life. According to astrology, the color of your eyes belongs to a mixture of the energies of the Moon and Venus with a mixture of the energies of Mercury. Therefore, you are very smart, impressionable, you can, unnoticed by others, very much worry about the insult inflicted on you .You are shy, prone to solitude, dreamy. You can be considered a pragmatic, diligent, and at the same time romantic person.

Green-brown eyes

The green color in these eyes does not allow either donation or vampirism to fully develop. You will certainly try to take everything possible from those around you, but not unscrupulously, as brown-eyed people do. You will try to make people understand that doing as you require is, first of all, in their own interests. Therefore, if If you have green-brown eyes, then you have a philosophical mindset and talent as a diplomat. It is not enough for you to simply turn your back on someone who ignored your request, you need to make sure that he regrets his offense. To do this, you can put your own well-being and life. At times you are vindictive and ruthless. In a balanced state, you are a philosopher. Firstly, you love it when your soul is calm and rosy, and this cannot be achieved without resorting to wisdom. And secondly, explaining to people exactly how to treat you and what exactly you need from them, you have developed the ability to logical thinking, supported by strong arguments.

Compatibility

The ideal foundation for your family - people with gray-green eyes. Astrology believes that the color of your eyes is a mixture of the energies of Saturn, Mars and Venus. It can be said about you that you have a very strong will. You can handle any peak. Although you are considered intractable, this is often what helps you achieve your goal. Sometimes you are obstinate, and in exceptional cases, even cruel. Sometimes you experience bouts of intense anger or causeless depression. But such mood swings are extremely rare. Most often, you have a calm, harmonious mood.

Of course, I offered you somewhat simplified character diagrams. The real characters of people are much more complex and varied.

However, I hope that the examples given will help, firstly, to learn a little more about yourself, your energy, strengths and weaknesses.

Secondly, to understand the causes of problems in relationships with certain people - why it is “hard” for us with some partners, and “easy” with others.

And thirdly, you can learn something about how your life will turn out without complex astrological calculations.

After all, our eyes are not only mirrors of the soul, but also cosmic mirrors of fate.

As you know, eye color is a unique characteristic that is determined by the degree of pigmentation of the iris. Chromatophores containing the known pigment melanin, as well as the order of their distribution in the anterior mesodermal layer of the shell play main role in the formation of eye color.

The posterior layer of the iris contains fuscin-filled pigment cells, however, regardless of eye color, this layer is always darkened. The exception, perhaps, is albinos with a congenital lack of pigment.

Genetically, there are three pigments that make up the primary colors of the iris: blue, brown and yellow. Accordingly, the determined amount of a certain pigment forms the eye color.

As a rule, both eyes have the same color, the same tone, but there is also abnormal pigmentation of the iris located behind the cornea.

General information

Heterochromia(translated from Greek Heteros - different, different or different; chroma - color, color). In other words, it is a condition characterized by abnormal pigmentation of the iris. Typically, an individual experiences different color eye, which is a consequence of the unequal coloring of the irises of both eyes.

Heterochromia in humans is inherited genetically and can pass from generation to generation, appearing much later (this phenomenon occurs in approximately 10 people per 1000).

Types and forms of heterochromia

Depending on many factors, ocular heterochromia can be hereditary or acquired.

Based on the degree of staining of the iris, several types of heterochromia are distinguished:

  • complete, in which both eyes are endowed with their own color - the most common type is when one eye is brown and the other is blue
  • sectoral - the color of the “iris” of one eye is presented in several different shades at once
  • central - there are several full-fledged colored rings near the iris

Most often you can find complete heterochromia, less often - partial.

In addition, in medical practice the following forms of heterochromia are known, resulting from damage to the “iris”:

  • simple - abnormal coloring of the membrane of the eye due to congenital weakness of the cervical sympathetic nerve
  • complicated (uveitis with Fuchs syndrome) - a chronic disease characterized by damage to one of the eyes, expressed by a change in the color of the iris
  • heterochromia as a result of metallosis - can develop due to metal fragments entering the eyes, which cause the development of siderosis (iron fragment) or chalcosis (copper fragment)

What are the risks of eye disease, as well as its types and methods of treatment.

Etiology and pathogenesis

Of course, there is no reason to be afraid of heterochromia, especially since it does not affect human health in any way. Moreover, a person with heterochromia continues to see and perceive colors absolutely normally, as if he did not have heterochromia at all!

By its nature, heterochromia is nothing more than a unique phenomenon, manifested by cell mutation immediately after fertilization. Meanwhile, abnormal eye color can become acquired as a result of an eye injury or as a complication after an illness.

Most often, heterochromia occurs in women, less often in representatives strong half humanity. With heterochromia, the stroma of the “iris” is depleted of pigment, which occurs due to trophic (congenital) disorders generated by organic or functional transformations in the sympathetic nervous system.

Clinical picture

With a simple form of heterochromia, no noticeable changes occur in the iris, however, with congenital paresis (weakness) of the cervical sympathetic nerves, oculosympathetic Bernard-Horner syndrome is observed, characterized by immediate:

  • changes in skin color
  • narrowing of the palpebral fissure (ptosis)
  • constriction of the pupil, decreased position of the upper eyelid
  • enophthalmos in mild degree– abnormal displacement of the position of the eyeball in the orbit
  • decreased or complete absence of sweating on the affected side

With heterochromia of the Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis type, the following are observed:

  • opacities in the vitreous body (lens) of the eye in the form of white dots fixed on its frame
  • degenerative atrophy (dystrophy) of the iris
  • progressive cortical cataract, in which opacities involve the cortex of the lens
  • whitish floating small inclusions called precipitates

With heterochromia, which arose as a result of metallosis (siderosis and chalcosis), excessive, pronounced pigmentation of the eye shell is observed, manifested in green-blue or rusty-brown shades.

Diagnosis and treatment of heterochromia

Diagnostics pathological condition the iris of the eye begins with identifying the characteristic clinical picture diseases. If the manifestation of heterochromia consists solely of a change in eye color, then there is no need for medical or surgical treatment.

The attending ophthalmologist refers the patient to comprehensive laboratory tests, and also prescribes a course of examination of the visual organs using special medical equipment.

The patient is indicated for local therapy using steroid drugs. Vitrectomy is performed when there is severe clouding of the lens that cannot be treated with steroids. Thus, surgery necessary under the condition of a progressive decrease in visual acuity according to the Fuchs type, aggravation of the cataract process.

Treatment of heterochromia with metallosis (silderosis or chalcosis) is carried out by immediate removal of the foreign body that causes a change in the color of the iris. For inflammatory phenomena, corticosteroids (in drops and under the conjunctiva), miotics, as well as antibacterial drugs and nonspecific anti-inflammatory drugs are indicated.

Prognosis for heterochromia

Many people are concerned about the question of whether the color of the iris can be restored.

It must be said right away that with congenital (genetic) heterochromia this will never happen. However, in those suffering from an acquired disease that arose as a result of penetration foreign bodies into the cornea or inflammatory processes iris, there is a chance to restore eye color by eliminating the very cause that causes heterochromia.

Thus, the first 3 forms of heterochromia are persistent, while with metallosis (siderosis and chalcosis), the color of the iris can return to “normal” after removal of the foreign fragment.

As a matter of fact, the prognosis for visual acuity with metallosis completely depends on the severity of the underlying process, and with heterochromia of the Fuchs type - on the degree of opacification of the vitreous body (lens) and the results of extraction of cortical cataracts.

Did you know that in ancient times, people with different iris colors were considered unclean? “Children of the devil”, “witches” caused panic among the population, and therefore they were credited with a connection with witchcraft and black magic. IN modern world it is quite clear to each of us that heterochromia is not at all the machinations of the devil or signs supernatural power, but just an anomalous deviation from the norm...

By the way, heterochromia is a rather rare phenomenon that occurs not only in humans, but is also a very common phenomenon in the animal world (for example, in cats and dogs).



Uneven eye color is quite unusual to perceive, but undoubtedly helps you stand out from the crowd... Isn't it?!


I saw Miu’s photos of growing cats in this post and was surprised how their eye color changes with age. Like people - from gray-blue to yellow.



I remember very well how our baby’s dark blue eyes began to appear. brown spots here and there, the eyes were marbled - until the brown spots merged into one dark chocolate, almost black. I didn't know the same thing happened with cats.

I read today about amazing eye color. Science still doesn’t know everything about inheritance, since according to today’s estimates, 15-16 different genes are responsible for the appearance of a particular color (and blue color is no longer considered recessive). But all white people's children are born with blue or steel eyes. True color appears in most cases in the first year of life, less often during the first three.

A “normal” natural person has brown or black eyes; the majority of people on the planet are still brown-eyed. Scientists have found that all blue-eyed people have one common ancestor. Somewhere between six and ten thousand ago, someone living near the Black Sea, approximately in the territory of today's Romania, had a mutation and had blue, rather than black, eyes. All blue-eyed people on the planet come from him.

What is especially surprising is that human eyes have neither blue nor green pigment! At all. If you cut a blue eye, there will be nothing blue inside. In the vast majority of cases, the eyes contain only melanin - a black-brown pigment. A Blue eyes They look that way for the same reason the sky is blue.

The pigment in the eyes turns out to be cleverly placed. The iris has a back side covered with pigment - it is black in everyone. Light hitting the back side does not jump back and forth, but is absorbed and reflected back. If this substrate is not present (as in albinos), light passes through and is reflected from blood vessels the eyes are at the back, which is why their eyes are pink. The same thing works for all red-eyed animals - we see the vessels inside through their eyes.

The second colored side is located on the front surface of the iris. But newborns have practically no pigment there. During their life, special cells called melanocytes begin to produce pigment. If a lot of melanin accumulates in the outer layer, the eyes look brown and black. There is also a pigment that gives yellow- it makes the eyes look amber. It is added to optical blue and produces green.

But blue is obtained thanks to Rayleigh scattering - light scattering. Unabsorbed waves make their way back to us through the iris and are scattered, hitting small particles - just as light does on the smallest particles of gas in the atmosphere. The result is blue skies and blue eyes. Looking blue. Gray eyes are also obtained due to the scattering of light, but of a different nature (Mie scattering) - the same as in cloudy days the sky seems gray to us. In them, unlike blue ones, there is rarely scattered yellow and brown pigment.

If this optical illusion yellow pigment is added, we see green eyes. Green with brown pigment gives hazel eyes. Hazel eyes change the most in adults. Not in the sense that they necessarily change, but in the sense that they change - depending on whether pigment is added to them and what kind.

Eye color can predict susceptibility to various diseases - due to the presence or absence of various substances in the body. In animals blue is rare and is usually associated with mutations affecting other things. Like white cats with blue eyes - they are partly deaf. But it is interesting that only cats whose full coat color is caused by a special white coat gene are deaf. Cats who have white provided with the gene of white spots - there are just a lot of them and they merged :) - they will not be deaf even with blue eyes. In Siamese cats, blueness is often combined with strabismus.

Eye colors are unevenly distributed among peoples. In Asian regions, all of them may have black eyes, without any options, but according to studies, Estonians have 99% of people with blue eyes. I once got into a conversation with an Afghan woman at an exhibition - she had eyes of an amazing green-yellow color, I had never seen anything like that. But it turns out that this color is characteristic of the regions central Asia- Pakistan, Afghanistan and India.

Well, heterochromia also occurs - different colored eyes. Completely different two eyes or pieces of different colors in one eye. Most often this is the result of illness or injury, but it happens hereditary trait. At the same time, the two eyes have different melanin content. No melanin - blue color, there is melanin - brown or black, there is an impurity yellow pigment - green eye. Different color inside one eye occurs from uneven accumulation of pigment in different places.
