The claim has been around for years, but recirculated in late April 2021 after Biden’s 100 day speech.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s investigation found that the images depicting Biden with a different eye color have been digitally manipulated. Below is a picture of him with blackened eyes taken from the second presidential debate.
Below is a screenshot from approximately the same moment. Although his eyes might appear darker than usual in the real photos, they are not as black as the manipulated photos make them out to be.
In the video from the debate, his eyes appear blue.
Photos of Biden since he was a young man until now depict the same color eyes throughout his life.
Further, blue eyes might appear darker in photos due to the Tyndall effect. According to Science Alert: “People with blue eyes have a completely colorless stroma with no pigment at all, and it also contains no excess collagen deposits. This means that all the light that enters it is scattered back into the atmosphere and as a result of the Tyndall effect, creates a blue hue. Interestingly, this means that blue eyes don't actually have a set color - it all depends on the amount of light available when you look at them.”
This means that blue eyes might appear darker in photos, depending on the amount of light available. If Biden’s eyes appear a different color in photos that haven’t been digitally manipulated, it is almost certainly due to the Tyndall effect and not because his eyes have changed colors since he is a demon or a clone.
