Iris Heterochromia: Fuchs heterochromic iritis is the classic cause for a change in iris color from brown to blue. Pigmentary dispersion/pigmentary glaucoma is also possible, and an elevated eye pressure might explain the daily headaches. Iris atrophy is unlikely in a young person. See an ophthalmologist,, preferably a uveitis specialist. Heterochromia can be a serious finding. Do not delay.

See an eye doctor: Especially if only 1 eye is changing (called heterochromia), it's important to see an eye doctor. Eye color changes can be a warning sign of certain diseases. Dont worry - but ask for an appointment. Best!
