You must have been wondering how humans have different eye colors. Some with black eyes, some with blue-green eyes and others with brown eyes or grey eyes. This is medical condition called "Heterochromia" of the eye. It is caused by variations in the concentration and distribution of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes.
Eye color is the result of variations in the amount of melanin, a pigment found in the front part of the iris of the eye. The lack of this pigment results in blue eyes, some pigment gives green and lots of pigment gives brown eyes.
So light brown eyes just have a bit less melanin than darker brown eyes. All of the different shades of eye color happen the same way. Blue-green eyes have an amount of melanin between green and blue, hazel eyes have an amount of pigment between green and brown, et cetera.
However, Heterochromia of the eyes is not a fatal condition, neither is it harmful to one's health. It's just one of the many HOWs humans can be different from the other. To remind you, variation is defined as the differences which occur in a particular species of organisms. Examples include Height, Size of nose, Body color, Size of ears, Size of eyes and also the Color of eyes.
