You know brown eyes are genetically superior right? the only reason they don't give a halo is because they are more common. But the data is clear on this one, lighter eye colors are much more likely to get all sorts of problems.

Medical implications
Those with lighter iris color have been found to have a higher prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) than those with darker iris color;[75] lighter eye color is also associated with an increased risk of ARMD progression.[82] A gray iris may indicate the presence of a uveitis, and an increased risk of uveal melanoma has been found in those with blue, green or gray eyes.[67][83] However, a study in 2000 suggests that people with dark brown eyes are at increased risk of developing cataracts and therefore should protect their eyes from direct exposure to sunlight.[84]
