I : I am not aware of a fever being responsible for a change in eye color. I do know that eye color can change with age. This occurs in about 10 to 15 percent of the caucasian population. If you have further questions you can visit your son's doctor and/or an eye doctor (ophthalmologist).

Fever: The fever did not change your child's eye color. The appearance of eye color can change over time and with lighting/ background/ etc.
