In a highly pigmented iris, shorter lightwaves (such as blue) are absorbed more frequently, while red and yellow lightwaves are relatively unabsorbed. A mixture of red and yellow forms the brown color of the eyes seen in 80% of the human population. [1]

As light enters a minimally pigmented iris, the shorter lightwaves (like blue) are scattered more frequently, spread out in all directions, and reflected back to the external observer. Blue eyes are the result of this phenomenon. [2]

Aurora reduces pigmentation in the iris by inhibiting local melanin production. By utilizing modern precision biological methods in a newly discovered pigmentary pathway, It is now possible to safely reproduce the same phenotype present in those with naturally bright eyes.
