Do Iris Patterns Change With Age? A Family Legacy Through Eyes
3 min read
Can Iris Patterns Really Tell Your Family Story?
When Emily Thompson photographed her grandmother's eyes last summer, she discovered something extraordinary. Hidden within the intricate patterns were subtle similarities to her own iris – a genetic story written in brown and gold. "It was like finding a family tree in our eyes," she recalls.
How Do Iris Patterns Change Throughout Life?
Dr. Maria Rodriguez, leading genetic researcher, explains: "While core iris patterns remain stable, subtle changes occur with age. Think of it like tree rings – the basic pattern stays the same, but life leaves its marks."
Newborns: Patterns continue developing until 2 years old
Childhood: Core pattern stabilizes by age 3
Adulthood: Subtle color changes begin
Senior years: Density variations become visible
