Eye color is directly related to the amount of melanin in the front layers of the iris. People with brown eyes have a large amount of melanin in the iris, while people with blue eyes have much less of this pigment. A particular region on chromosome 15 plays a major role in eye color.


and

Albinism: People who have an inherited condition called albinism have little or no melanin in their eyes, hair and skin. People with albinism usually have eyes that are very light blue
