Did you know…
That blue eyed individuals are more pron to have bolder red eye than people with any other eye color when their photographs are taken. The iris plays no role in the effect, but blue-eyed people have relatively low melanin in the fundus as well. Therefore, they show a much stronger red-eye effect, as the light passing fundus is not absorbed by melanin. The role of melanin in red-eye effect is nicely demonstrated in case of heterochromia (one eye blue, one brown): typically, only the blue eye displays the effect. Source: Wik
