    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Temporal variations in blue/green color values in human eyes are linked to aging lens absorbance. Short-term and long-term eye color changes were not attributed to the lens itself.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology and Vision Science
    • Colorimetry
    • Human Physiology

    Background:

    • The blue/green color value in human eyes, calculated using the equation 'Blue' + 'Green' = 'Cyan' + 'Yellow', can exhibit temporal variations.
    • Understanding these variations is crucial for assessing ocular health and potential age-related changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the nature and potential causes of temporal variations in the blue/green color value of human eyes.
    • To differentiate between age-related changes and individual cyclic variations.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional study involving 167 normal eyes across a wide age range (13-83 years).
    • Longitudinal studies were conducted to track short-term (12-hour) and long-term (11-month) cyclic variations in individual eyes.

    Main Results:

    • Cross-sectional data indicated that progressive changes in lens absorbance correlate with variations in the blue/green value, suggesting an age-related effect.
    • However, individual cyclic variations observed in both short-term and long-term longitudinal studies could not be attributed to changes in lens absorbance.

    Conclusions:

    • Age-related increases in lens absorbance are a significant factor in the observed temporal variations of eye color values.
    • Individual short-term and long-term fluctuations in eye color are likely influenced by factors other than lens absorbance.
