Can you change the color of your eyes naturally? Unfortunately, no. Just like your hair and skin color, the color of your iris is genetic. That means that unless you break down your genetic code or cell structure, your eye color cannot be changed permanently without surgery.
Sun exposure can activate melanin production. Sometimes, certain emotions can release a hormone that changes your pupil size and thus, your eye color. The colors you are wearing in makeup or clothing can change the perceived hue and saturation.
Changing your eye color is now possible with a wide range of natural pigments of green, blue, and brown. Adjusted to your personal preference, the pigment is placed into the cornea, which is located in front of the iris, thus masking and permanently changing the color of your eyes.
Laser Surgery
This procedure changes your eye color by destroying the pigment, or color, cells in your iris. When they go away, brown eyes look blue. That's because blue eyes don't have any pigment. It can only be done on brown eyes.
We found that green is the most popular lens colour, with brown coming in a close second, despite it being one of the most common eye colours. Although blue and hazel are seen as the most attractive eye colours for men and women they are surprisingly the least popular.
In most people, the answer is no. Eye color fully matures in infancy and remains the same for life. But in a small percentage of adults, eye color can naturally become either noticeably darker or lighter with age.
But today there's a medical procedure that can permanently turn your brown eyes blue. Pioneered by Stroma Medical, the laser procedure works by eliminating the brown melanin that's present in the anterior layers of the iris.
Green Eyes
Green is considered by some to be the actual rarest eye color in the world, though others would say it's been dethroned by red, violet, and grey eyes.
A California-based company has developed a procedure that can change brown eyes to blue in a matter of 20 seconds. Stroma Medical created the procedure, which uses a laser to rid your eyes of the dark melanin that makes them brown. This turns them blue.
Yes. The short answer is that brown-eyed parents can have kids with brown, blue or virtually any other color eyes.
Likewise, two brown-eyed parents can have a child with blue eyes, although this is also uncommon.
There are plenty of blue-eyed Asians. This probably happens when the traditional blue-eyed allele comes into a family from a (possibly very distant) European ancestor. Blue eyes then resurface in a child generations later if they inherit the allele from both parents.
Fish: Consuming fish can increase your eye color strength and depending on the consumption, this changes could be permanent. Olive oil: Many people believe that adding olive oil to your diet could change the shade of your eyes. Onions: Regular intake of onion has shown gradual changes in eye and skin color.
If you want to change your eye color, opt for a non-invasive, temporary change, such as using tinted contacts. Wearing prescription or decorative contacts may come with some risks, but contacts can be far safer than going under the knife.
Even if your eyes are of the darkest shades, you can always use cosmetic means to brighten them. This method is far more affordable than the other options. There are opaque lenses specifically designed for people with dark eyes. These opaque lenses feature vibrant and bright colors.
Yes, natural purple eyes are possible. There are many different shades of blues and greys out there and many in-between colors. Although very rare, some people's natural pigmentation can even be violet or purple in color.
Of those four, green is the rarest. It shows up in about 9% of Americans but only 2% of the world's population. Hazel/amber is the next rarest of these.
Violet Eyes
This color is most often found in people with albinism. It is said that you cannot truly have violet eyes without albinism. Mix a lack of pigment with the red from light reflecting off of blood vessels in the eyes, and you get this beautiful violet!
Since melanin plays a role in eye color, exposure to the sun can lead to eye color changes. Usually, it requires prolonged exposure and results in the irises darkening.
The pupil can change size with certain emotions, thus changing the iris color dispersion and the eye color. You've probably heard people say your eyes change color when you're angry, and that probably is true. Your eyes can also change color with age. They usually darken somewhat.
5–Black Eyes
There's an eye disorder known as aniridia which makes the eye appear to have “no iris.” In truth, there is a small ring of iris tissue but it is so small and the pupil is so large that it can look like the eyes are completely black. It is due to a chromosome mutation.
They Are Less Prone to Certain Eye Diseases
The sun can cause severe eye damage and result in eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration. But because brown eyes have more melanin, it's safe to say that if you have brown eyes, you are less likely to get these types of eye diseases.
Benefits of Brown Eyes
People with brown eyes tend to be at lower risk for eye cancer, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. An additional benefit of brown eyes is that the higher melanin levels may protect the brain's nerves from damage due to noise.
A blue and a green-eyed parent will have all hazel-eyed kids. This is one of the reasons I like the modifier gene explanation so much. It can help explain how green and blue-eyed parents might have hazel-eyed kids.
