A member asked:

Could you change your eye color permanently?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually no: There are certain drops used to treat glaucoma that can make a hazel or light brown eye turn dark brown. The don't change color in pure blue or dark brown eyes. Other than in that instance, there is no way to safely change eye color permanently.
