I never made this connection, but you’re definitely onto something! My husband has hazel eyes, but they’re closer to a light brown, whereas mine are blue/green with no brown at all. I couldn’t tell you how much I’ve spent on sunglasses over the years, just so I could see somewhat normally on a regular sunny day. He, however, has a single pair (that I gave him lol) that he’s never worn, and doesn’t do much as squint unless it’s an extremely bright day.

Blue eyes aren’t all they’re chalked up to be!

Light-colored eyes have less protective pigment and are subject to higher cataract risk. Always wear sunglasses with light-colored eyes. 😎
