A member asked:
What could be causing my eyes to change color?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eyes color: Eye color can change with puberty, emotions or environmental factors. 10 — 15% of caucasian eyes change color as they age. Other races have darker eyes, which do not change significantly with age. As pigment in the iris changes or degrades, the eye color usually lightens. However, hazel or blue eyes can darken. Slight color changes are a normal and harmless part of the aging process, but dramatic.
