Why Is Pigmentation In The Eye Very Common In Black People! by Pweety4me(f): 6:16pm On May 07, 2011
What do you think?

I once asked an optician why, and she said it's because we tend to produce more pigments or wurreva, but no exact reason!(maybe i just can't rememba sha undecided lipsrsealed)


It's even worser for those who live in Africa(hot countries) but what really is the cause?is it the food we eat?the sun?the water we drink?the people we look @? shocked lipsrsealed grin tongue


Do you have any pigmentation in your eye? smiley

Go on house!

how does that hurt? everyone is different in life and we all can't be alike, i do believe pigementation has to do with the exposure to alot of sun as well

My dear, wat u'r describing is wat is called "dirty sclera". it tends to be common with

us africans because of a combination of environmental pollutants, excessive exposure

to dust and harmful rays from the sun. I've wondered the same thing too several

years ago. some eye drops may reduce this but truthfully, there's not much u can do

to them once u have them. sorry. undecided

Don't mind her. I'm actually intrigued by Africans who have eyes like that. I had a Bajan friend who had eyes like that.

it's common among people living in Nigeria but I don't notice it among Nigerians in the US
so it may have to do with the environment, hydration etc

Pweety, Pigmentation or dark circles/eye bags?

I know for us Asian, Pigmentation is common to our cheeks but most of us avoid it by putting moisturizer and SPF50 cream.

If its really pigmentation, perhaps you guys could apply SPF50 cream on that area.

^^No not that type, the 1 of the eye, see the first pic.
