Eye Color Vision Test

Problem

Which eye color has the best vision?

Hypothesis

I predict that the color will affect your vision very slightly, I think that brown eyes will be the strongest and blue eyes will be the weakest. I think that brown eyes will have the strongest vision because the darker the eye the more pigment the and the less sensitive your eyes are too light.

Procedure

• 1. Gather 12 volunteers

  2. Have the volunteers take a online eye test

  3. Record Data

  4. Repeat on the volunteers other eye

  5. Record Data

  6. Repeat process for all 12 volunteers

  7. Take the data from each eye color and find an average

  8. Come to a conclusion

Which Eye Color Has the Best Vision?

We live in world with a variety of people with a variety of different eye colors, and I always wondered what eye color has the best vision. When science fair came around I knew it would be a great project. My science fair project question is what eye color has the best vision. I test four of the most common eye colors brown, blue, green, and hazel. My hypothesis is that brown eyes will have the best eyesight, and I think people with blue eyes will see the worst. I think this because the lighter your eye the more sensitive your eyes are to light, brown eyes are the darkest and blue eyes are the lightest.

To do this experiment I had to gather twelve volunteers, three for each of the four colors. The volunteers had to do a complete one eye test for each of their eyes. To test the volunteers eyes I gave them a online eye test. The tested consisted of the volunteer having to identify if the symbol giving was facing left, right, up or down. The number of times the volunteer had to identify the direction of the symbol differed depending on how well they were doing. After having the volunteer identify the direction we did a identical test on the other eye. I did the exact same method for all twelve volunteers.

After I did all my test for each for each eye color, I found an average. The average came from how many each person got wrong. The answer of that was my average. The eye color with the lowest average wins. Browns average was 7, hazels was 6, greens was 3, and blues was 4.

In conclusion Green had 3 as an average of wrong answer, so according to my test they won. My hypothesis was incorrect, because I thought brown would have the best vision but it actually has the worst. I was very surprised with the outcomes of my projects, I have learned that a lighter eye does not mean worse vision. The variables for my test to try to make it fair was everyone sat three feet away from the test, the covered the opposite eye while doing the test, and keeping on their glasses on. Although I tried my best to make this experiment fair there could be flaws for example one person might have horrible vision and another might have great, also a computer might blur some people's eyes. I could improve my experiment by getting a real eye test and more volunteers.
