Genesis is an internet myth about perfect human beings whose eyes turn purple during infancy. According to Snopes, a popular fact-checking site, rumors about this so-called rare genetic mutation have been circulating the internet since at least as far back as 2005. 

 The myth of Genesis, which has several odd origin stories, claims that people with this condition are born with purple eyes or have eyes that turn purple shortly after birth. They also have pale skin and well-proportioned bodies that don’t gain weight. These perfect humans supposedly live to be well over 100 years old and produce very little bodily waste.

Alexandria’s Genesis is not a real medical condition. But there are several real-life conditions that can affect eye color.

Causes of Uveitis

The cause of uveitis is often unknown and frequently occurs in otherwise healthy people. It can sometimes be associated with another illness such as an autoimmune disorder or an infection from a virus or bacteria.

An autoimmune disease occurs when your immune system attacks a part of your body. Autoimmune conditions that may be associated with uveitis include:

• rheumatoid arthritis
• ankylosing spondylitis
• psoriasis
• arthritis
• ulcerative colitis
• Kawasaki disease
• Crohn’s disease
• sarcoidosis

Symptoms of Uveitis

The following symptoms may occur in one or both eyes:

• severe redness in the eye
• pain
• dark floating spots in your vision, called floaters
• light sensitivity
• blurred vision

Types of Uveitis

There are many types of uveitis. Each type is classified by where the inflammation occurs in the eye.

Anterior uveitis (front of the eye)

Anterior uveitis is often referred to as “iritis” because it affects the iris. The iris is the colored part of the eye near the front. Iritis is the most common type of uveitis and generally occurs in healthy people. It can affect one eye, or it may affect both eyes at once. Iritis is usually the least serious type of uveitis.

Intermediate uveitis (middle of the eye)

Intermediate uveitis involves the middle part of the eye and is also called iridocyclitis. The word “intermediate” in the name refers to the location of the inflammation and not the severity of the inflammation. The middle part of the eye includes the pars plana, which is the part of the eye between the iris and the choroid. This type of uveitis may occur in otherwise healthy people, but it has been linked to some autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Posterior uveitis (back of the eye)

Posterior uveitis may also be referred to as choroiditis because it affects the choroid. The tissue and blood vessels of the choroid are important because they deliver blood to the back of the eye. This type of uveitis usually occurs in people with an infection from a virus, parasite, or fungus. It can also occur in people with an autoimmune disease.

Posterior uveitis tends to be more serious than anterior uveitis because it can cause scarring in the retina. The retina is a layer of cells in the back of the eye. Posterior uveitis is the least common form of uveitis.

Pan-uveitis (all parts of the eye)

When the inflammation affects all major parts of the eye, it’s called pan-uveitis. It often involves a combination of features and symptoms from all three types of uveitis.
