We'd tried them before, but she wasn't interested in wearing them. Then she started asking for them and has become almost as big a junkie as me.

blue eyes contains less melanin in the iris pigmentation which makes it “leak” more light than brown eyes, so when the pupil constricts to shelter the retina from too bright light, the blue iris will not stop as much light as the brown one.

My eyes water and I often burst into a sneezing fit if I suddenly get an eyeful of sunlight. Eva also hates the sun. I tried putting sunglasses on her once, but she wouldn't stand for it. You're lucky Nora puts up with it! She looks like one cool baby.
