The color of someones eyes can enhance their beauty or attractiveness to others. But what about the white part of your eyes? Are they too, a factor?

It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A new study reveals that the opposite can also be true; research published in Ethology discovered that people with bloodshot eyes are considered sadder, unhealthier and less attractive than those with eyes that are untinted and clear.

Volunteers were shown 200 images of eyes, half with clear white sclera and half with sclera artificially tinted red by image enhancement. They were then asked how healthy, sad or attractive the owners of the eyes were. Their results revealed that people with reddened eyes appear sadder, less healthy, and less attractive compared to those with whiter, clear eyes.

Now eye whites join these traits as a universal standard for the perception of beauty and a cue of health and reproductive fitness. Given this discovery, eye drops that ‘get the red out’ can certainly be considered beauty aids.”
