milky white eyes

I was also thinking of cataracts and that maybe they are more visible if the eyes are very dark.

I only have eyes for my Colombianas eyes I don't care what color my wifes eyes turn and even if they fall out, she will be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I want to eat her eyes everytime that i see them. They are the most sincere eyes that I have ecer seen and when they look at me, they burn a hole right thru me but yes, I have to agree with Desideria and that if you live in a climate like Cali where it is very sunny all the time, it does tend to cause cataracts more usually than in people in other parts of the world where the sun is not so strong.

then all of us should be wearing shades with UVA & UVB protection. My grandmother has cataracts, and I sure as hell don't want them.
