Are your eyes sensitive to the sun? If you have lighter colored eyes, like blue or green, you are more sensitive to light than those with brown eyes. This is due to lighter eyes having less pigment to protect your eyes from the sun. Sunglasses, no matter your eye color, are necessary to protect your eyes from the harmful UV light from the sun.

Your retina, located by the optic nerve, is the innermost layer of the eye that helps convert light into a form your brain will understand. Inside the retina are rods and cones. The rods understand light, while the cones recognize color!
