No, ice does not directly brighten eyes.
The idea that ice can brighten eyes likely comes from the common practice of applying cold compresses to reduce puffiness and inflammation around the eyes. This can make the eyes appear more awake and less tired.
However, the brightness of your eyes is primarily determined by factors such as:
- Genetics: Your eye color is inherited from your parents.
- Pigmentation: The amount of melanin in your iris determines your eye color and how bright they appear.
- Health: Certain health conditions can affect the brightness of your eyes.
- Lighting: The way light reflects off your eyes can make them appear brighter or duller.
While ice can help reduce puffiness and make your eyes appear more refreshed, it does not change the underlying pigmentation or brightness of your eyes.
