Do you have a scientific explanation as to how climate change can affecy eye colour?

I've heard some wacky theories about climate change, but this takes the top prize! ;D ;D

I don’t even see mine there - a basic blue with greyish tones, lots of people have a similar colour. And where is true blue ( a la Paul Newman)? Even my OH’s blues, which are lighter than mine, aren’t represented.

Several independent internet sources say that green eyes are the rarest eye colour in the world.  Does anyone know of a respected reference on eye colour to verify this properly ?

Dr. Joseph Allen OD FAAO (Doctor of Optometry) and (Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry)

Some notes I made from his video:- The Rarest Eye Colors in the World - Eyes Colors Explained

From the most common to the least common.

The rarest eye colour is Black eyes.

They have no eye colour, because they have no Iris and a condition called Aniridia. (Another source says their Iris didn't develop properly).

They are born with it due to a mutation on their PAX6 gene.

A few people will also develop Aniridia due to Trauma or Surgical Complications.

 ---------------

The second most rare Colour is Red or Red and Pink (less than 1%) and sometimes their Red eyes might also look Violet. They have a condition called Albinism, an inherited condition.

We were shown an example and their eyes were unforgettably striking Red.

Found the source and added source information.

A dear friend of mine had beautiful cornflower blue eyes ( as an aside, with a double row of very long eyelashes). One day I noticed that his eyes were a true violet. He was suffering from cancer and died a few months later. I think the change was caused either by his illness, or the treatment he was receiving.
Looking at Bushin's description of rare eye colours caused by medical conditions, I can see the possibility.
