Why are brown eyes dominant over green eyes?
Eye color happens because of the amount of the pigment melanin found in the eye. Not anywhere in the eye but in a very special place, the stroma of the iris. Lots of melanin here gives brown eyes and less melanin gives green. Little or no melanin in the stroma of the iris gives blue eyes. So this is why brown is dominant over green.
Are blue eyes more rare than green eyes?
Blue and green eyes are rarer than brown eyes and they usually result from mutations that have reduced the amount of pigment in the iris, although blue eyes can also occur in babies who go on to develop darker eyes. Blue eyes contain the least pigment.

Are blue eyes weaker than brown?
There is a common belief that blue eyes are weaker than brown eyes due to a lack of pigment and therefore are more prone to sun damage and cataracts. This is not true — blue eyes lack melanin, but they do contain pigment.
