A member asked:
I have occular cutaneous albinism and my eyes are turning green. is there any way to stop this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Oculocutaneous albinism is a genetic defect of the enzyme in our body that produces melanin-and this determines iris color. There are no cures or treatments for this genetic condition. As the amount of melanin determines eye color, the answer is no, there is no way to change iris color.
