There are two explanations now for this phenomenon. First explanation is Alexandria Genesis. According to the legend, one night during ancient Egypt time there was a lighting interrupt peaceful night. Everyone went out see the light get purple eyes and white skin. They were called “spirit people”. After they got these facial features they start being not accep accepted by local people. They moved and disappeared at last. However, in 1329 a new born accepted and finally they disappear. However a girl who has purple eyes bo named Alexandria was treated as the reappearance of spirit people. She was the first person has purple eyes according to the record. Alexandria Genesis is kind of a myth.

Second is albinism. Some people have albinism disease which may be a small amount or no pigment melanin in the iris and it turns out that they have purple eyes. Sometimes if blue eyes people’s eyes got injured by sun it may caused appearance of blood vessels and they might end up having purple looking eyes.

Apparently, neither Elizabeth nor the boy in this video has such disease or injured. Is there any other explanation? Yes, that is mutation. This is the main reason that Elizabeth and other healthy children have purple eyes. However how does the mutation result in the purple eyes are still not being solved. What scientists believed is that if mothers carry mutation genetics. There is more likely that the children they give birth will have genetic mutation. We already known that no one can be born with purple eyes, but variety reasons can trigger mutation after they were born. What’s more, there is a large possibility that the children have blue eyes, but the under light they shows up like purple.
