7 Ways to Get Blue Eyes

  1. 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. The color of your eyes is determined by the amount of melanin that your irises contain: very little melanin gives blue eyes, while lots of melanin gives brown eyes.
    • Many babies have blue eyes when they’re born because their bodies haven’t created very much melanin yet.

  1. Wear blue contact lenses. Contact lenses can give you the appearance of blue eyes without having to change anything physical. To make sure your contact lenses are safe, visit an eye doctor and get a prescription. If you have glasses, you can get prescription colored contact lenses to wear every day.
    • Colored contact lenses from home goods or costume stores aren’t safe, and they could damage your eyes. You should always purchase contacts from an eye care professional.
  1. Yes, you can use browns, oranges and blues to make your eyes look lighter. When you’re picking out eye shadow and eyeliner, go for softer tones like light brown and baby blue instead of black. It will help bring out the blue undertones in your eyes and make your eye color look both lighter and brighter. ‘
    • Other complementary eyeshadow colors that can enhance blue eyes include gold, warm orange-browns like peach and copper, red-browns like mauves and plum, and neutrals like taupe or camel.
    • You can also try wearing brown mascara instead of black mascara.

Yes, but it’s a very subtle change. When you feel an intense emotion like anger, sadness, or excitement, your pupils might dilate or contract. This change can influence how your eye color looks just slightly, but they might only turn a shade or two lighter or darker. Advertisement

  1. No, that’s an urban myth. Some people swear that by mixing honey and hot water and using it as eye drops, you can make your eyes turn blue. However, there is no scientific evidence to back that up, and you can really irritate your eyes that way.
    • Your iris is in the center of your eyeball, not the surface. Using eye drops won’t help change the color of your eye because you can’t actually touch your iris.
    • The same is true for lemon juice eye drops. You’ll just end up irritating your eyes.
  1. Yes, but there are many risks to eye color surgery. There are 2 surgical options for changing your eye color: a laser surgery and an iris implant. Both of them come with the risk of inflammation, cataracts, elevated pressure inside your eye, and blindness. In fact, the laser surgery isn’t even approved for use in the United States. If you’re thinking of getting surgery, talk to an eye care professional before you make any decisions.
    • Most eye care professionals will discourage you from getting surgery to change your eye color. It’s too dangerous and not worth the risks.

It could indicate a disease or an illness. Changing eye colors might mean heterochromic iridocyclitis (inflammation of the eye), pigment loss, uveitis (inflammation of the middle eye), or trauma. Any one of these things can lead to blindness and health complications, so you should see a doctor right away if you notice anything strange.

: 7 Ways to Get Blue Eyes

Can eyes be turned blue?

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. Like any surgery, there are possible side effects. Glaucoma and uveitis are two of them. This procedure isn’t approved in the U.S.

Can someone’s eyes turn blue?

Blue scleras are very uncommon. You are truly a rare find! The white of our eyes, also known as the sclera, serves as a protective outer coat. It is a tough, leather-like tissue that surrounds the entire eye. The white sclera takes on a bluish tint when this normally thick tissue thins.

The sclera becomes translucent, allowing the underlying tissue to show through. There are lots of reasons someone can have blue “whites”. Anything that results in a thinning of the sclera could cause it. For example, some medications, like steroids, can produce blue sclera. Not having enough iron in your blood (anemia) and aging have also been shown to give a blue tint to the whites of the eye.

While most cases of sclera discoloration are benign, they can sometimes be a sign of something more serious like Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Russell Silver Syndrome, Pyknodysostosis, Hallermann- Schermann-Streiff syndrome and Marfan Syndrome,

  • It is important to note that all of these diseases are extremely rare and have other obvious symptoms as well.
  • Anyone with a blue sclera may want to see an ophthalmologist to rule out these possibilities.
  • Osteogenesis imperfecta are one potential cause of blue sclerae.
  • Image from Wikipedia ) As you indicated in your question, one extremely rare cause of blue sclera is Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bone Disease.

Only 1 in of every 10,000 people has this rare disease. As you may guess from its name, patients with Brittle Bone Disease have fragile bones that break easily. The condition is caused by problems with a crucial protein called collagen. Collagen provides the internal scaffolding of our bodies, giving us shape and support.

It can be likened to the iron beams that hold up a building. Faulty collagen leads to many problems for our body. There are actually four types of Brittle Bone Disease whose symptoms range from mild to severe. Type I is the most common and, fortunately, the mildest. Not all patients have the same symptoms, but they usually have several of the most common.

Blue sclera, easily fractured bones, curvature of the spine, brittle teeth, short height, and hearing loss are all frequently seen. Types II, III, and IV are more severe than Type I and even less frequent. For instance, Type II is so severe, that these children die before or soon after birth.

  1. Now, if I read your question correctly, your concern is that if someone’s eyes have a bluish tint to them, then they may be a carrier for a disease like Brittle Bone Disease.
  2. What is a carrier? Remember, we have two copies of most of our approximately 25,000 genes, one from mom and one from dad.
  3. For a lot of diseases, you need two “bad” copies to end up with the disease, one from each parent.

These are called recessive diseases, A carrier is someone who has one “good” copy and one “bad” copy of a disease-related gene. They do not have the disease themself but could pass it along to their kids. This is what it means to be a carrier. Other diseases only need one “bad” copy.

  • This is the situation with most cases of Brittle Bone Disease.
  • BBD is a dominant disease,
  • Brittle Bone Disease is caused by a mutation in one of the two genes that make that important collagen protein, Col1A1 or Col1A2.
  • If someone has a single “bad” copy of either of these genes, they have the disease.

Because of this, they also have a 50% chance of passing it down to their kids. Where does the 50% number come from? Well, which of the two copies of a gene gets passed down to our kids is random. Since there are two copies, then there is a 1 in 2, or 50%, chance that the disease version will be passed on.

  • What if two people with BBD have kids? Then the chances of their children being affected goes up to 75%.
  • As you can see, diseases that need two “bad”copies of a gene (recessive diseases) can stay hidden in our gene pool through “carriers”.
  • This is not true of diseases caused by a single “bad” copy (dominant diseases).

In a dominant disease (left), you only need to inherit one “bad” copy to have the disease. In recessive diseases (right), you need to inherit two “bad” copies to have the disease. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a dominant disease. (Image from Wikipedia ) You may wonder how the mutations for these rare dominant diseases stick around.

  1. Why aren’t they purged over time? There are actually a couple good reasons.
  2. With some diseases, symptoms don’t appear until later in life.
  3. Individuals often pass along their “bad” gene to their children before they even know they have the disease themselves.
  4. Huntington’s Disease is a classic example of this.

Symptoms usually start cropping up between the ages of 30 and 45, sometimes even later. This is also true for some cases of Parkinson’s, a disease we hear much of in the news due to the efforts of Michael J. Fox. However, recent advancements are changing genetics.

  1. Genetic testing and pre-implantation embryo screening for some diseases can give people the choice not to pass on their “bad” genes.
  2. Sometimes, mutations in our genes seemingly pop up out of nowhere.
  3. There is no family history of the disorder in these cases.
  4. This is called spontaneous mutation.
  5. What happens is that the DNA gets changed in either the sperm or the egg and is passed onto the child.

These changes can come from things in our environment or through mistakes our bodies make when it makes new DNA. About 25% of children with Brittle Bone Disease can blame spontaneous mutations for their disorders. It is important again to stress that anyone with blue sclera should see a doctor to rule out these rare diseases.

Which eye Colour is the strongest?

How does it work? – Babies inherit equal eye color genetics from both parents — 50% from each. From here, genes mutate to produce what are called alleles. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that, in this case, are responsible for giving your baby a certain eye color.

The allele genes come in the form of brown, blue, or green, with brown being dominant, followed by green, and blue being the least dominant or what is called recessive. Given this information, you can determine what eye colors are dominant in the parents. There are many combinations involving dominant and recessive alleles, but you can build a chart to help you understand the possible combinations your child could have.

For example, if both parents have the dominant brown allele, it is likely your child will have brown eyes and the same if one parent has a dominant brown allele and the other a recessive blue allele. Brown and green alleles will always out-rule blue alleles, with brown being the most dominant.

The Claim: Eye Color Can Change as We Age (Published 2005) Really?

THE CLAIM – Eye color can change as we age. THE FACTS – It can bend light, bring the world into focus, and next to the human brain may be our most complicated organ. But for many people the most intriguing feature of the human eye is simply its color. Can it really change for no apparent reason? 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.
  • What determines eye color is the pigment melanin.
  • Eyes that have a lot of it in the connective tissue at the front of the iris, called the stroma, are darker, while those that have less tend to be lighter.

The levels of melanin generally remain the same throughout life, but a few things can change them permanently. The first is a handful of ocular diseases like pigmentary glaucoma. Another is a condition called heterochromia, or multicolored eyes, which affects about 1 percent of the population and is often caused by traumatic injuries.

An example of this can be seen in the rock star David Bowie, who attributes his contrasting eye colors, hazel and light blue, to a blow to the face as a child. The third cause appears to be genetics. A study in 1997, for example, looked at thousands of twins and found that 10 percent to 15 percent of the subjects had gradual changes in eye color throughout adolescence and adulthood, which occurred at nearly identical rates in identical twins.

THE BOTTOM LINE – Eyes can change color in some people because of genetics or injury. ANAHAD O’CONNOR Really? [email protected] : The Claim: Eye Color Can Change as We Age (Published 2005)

Does milk change your eye color?

3. The baby’s eye color is not defined until she weans from breastfeeding – This is another myth that doesn’t make sense. A baby’s eye color is determined by genes, just as all other physical characteristics. Breastmilk has no power to change the eye color of anyone.

Can you change eye color with diet?

Whether it’s in the morning eating toast, at work on my lunch break, or at night, when I’m unable to sleep and I spoon peanut butter from the jar like the disgusting mouth breather I am, you can guarantee I’ll be hypnotized by what some 17-year-old who still lives at home and is studying for her college entrance exams has consumed that day.

  1. I spend too much time watching YouTube videos about vegan food.
  2. Like, every fucking day.
  3. It was only a matter of time, then, before I stumbled across a dark secret.
  4. The holy grail of HCLF (High Carb Low Fat) and raw veganism: the fabled full eye color change.
  5. The queen of this phenomenon is Fully Raw Kristina.

Her video in which she explains how her eyes changed from brown to blue-green on a raw vegan diet has over 2 million views. She went to an iridologist, who explained that each part of your body and organs is reflected in your eye. It’s like reflexology, where your body is mapped out on your foot, but with your eye.

  1. Using iridology, you can see if there are internal problems.
  2. If you’re immediately thinking that this strain of science sounds like bullshit, then let me share with you this video I found in a late night peanut butter wormhole, featuring elderly man Dr.
  3. Robert Morse, a revered natural doctor and iridologist, pointing at a little fleck on a picture of a woman’s eye with a laser pen and talking about what it says about her uterus, suggesting she “get in there” and strengthen the vaginal wall.

Yeah. This stuff gets deep. Anyway, young pre-raw Kristina was only going to the bathroom once a week and was very constipated, eating a poor, high-fat diet. She says her iridologist told her: If her colon was all bunged up with toxins and other shit, that gunk was literally reflected in her eyes. Kristina before Kristina after. Crazy, hey!? As odd as this is, she’s not the only one talking about it. There are forums on most HCLF blogs about it and a few videos of vloggers discussing changes to their eye color with FAQs—what to expect and what not to expect. It’s almost aspirational: a prize for those who commit their time and money into the extreme lifestyle.

Physical, visible confirmation—besides the usual emphasis on weight loss—that what they are doing must be the good and right way to live life. There’s definitely something problematic somewhere deep in there about how blue or light eyes are used to signify a clean “pure” body, while people of color question whether it can happen for them in comment sections.

ANYWAY. Let’s get down to it. Is it a truckload of horse shit? A thorough Google search will tell you there is little proof that raw fruit and veg can change the color of your eyes. In fact, there’s no evidence that suggests a change of eye color can ever be a good thing, but there is evidence that it can indicate something bad: Horner’s syndrome and pigment dispersion syndrome, for example.

All five iridologists I asked said the idea sounded weird. Yorkshire-based iridologist John Andrews said: “Alas, it is a misconception that eyes change color with diet. It is a scientific impossibility.” Yvonne Davis, an iridologist from London, was similarly skeptical but explained how the color change could potentially have happened.

“Most iridologists believe the color of your eyes really can’t and doesn’t change that much. By the late teens to early 20s, your eyes are how they will last until you die. But until that point, they’re still changing; depending on your age, it might just be this, rather than anything to do with your diet.

  1. Sometimes when people are older, in their 40s and 50s, if they’ve had a toxic lifestyle and then go total detox—we’re talking for at least a year—their eyes might appear lighter.
  2. When you get older, you also might get some more pigmentation in them.” I showed her the video of Fully Raw Kristina for reference.

“If someone does detox or eats vegan, some colors and signs in your eyes can change—slightly. But it’s very, very rare for eyes to go from brown to blue-hazel like this. I find it highly suspect.” Yvonne did, however, suggest that in Kristina’s case, it could be down to the digestive problems she describes on-camera.

  • In iridology, the stomach area is represented just outside the pupil.
  • If people have real digestive problems, that can make this area appear more a bit more brown.
  • She’s cleared up her diet, and that pigmentation could have gotten a bit lighter and shown the blue hazel she’d already got underneath.
  • It could be something like that, but I’m really not sure.

I’m still suspicious.” It could be more about people having initial digestive problems than the raw veganism working magic on your eyeballs. Someone who disagrees vehemently with these eye experts, though, is Ondrej Matej, a vegan dietician and personal trainer.

  • Absolutely, diet can change your eye color.
  • That’s been known for a little while.” He explained that his eyes had in fact changed on raw food.
  • They went from a very dark brown to a light brown with very slight green circle around it.
  • You can tell eyes get lighter depending on what you eat.” He started talking about iridology stuff, too.

“You have little dots in your eyes, and each one is connected to organs in your body. They show the health of your organs. Healthy means clearer.” If this is legit, then should people—mostly girls, it should be said—talking about it online expect this physical change? “It’s not like one day they’re brown, then they’re blue.

  1. It’s a process that takes years,” he said.
  2. Pushed harder, he admitted that not everyone would see the change.
  3. It’ll be down to genetics as well.
  4. It’s a very difficult subject.
  5. It’s not something that’d happen every time, and it might just be your eyes will become more open and clear.” Ondrej believes that people might be noticing this now because raw veganism or HCLF is a recent trend.

Additionally, it takes a long time to see these results, so if it was real—as he insists it is—we would only really be finding out about it now. “People might not believe it now, but this could be something that might be recurring a lot more in the future.” More and more people are going veggie or vegan and Rawtil4 and HCLF is attracting plenty of people for health or weight loss reasons.

  • But the bottom line is: No one really seems to know if it’s bollocks or not—although my bullshitometer is firmly swinging toward the iridologists’ hot take on this one.
  • Until a future where each one of us is gnawing on 20 bananas for breakfast and spiraled courgettes for lunch, maybe we will never know the truth.

Can eyes change color in the sun?

What Causes Eye Color to Change? Changes in eye color can be as captivating as they are concerning. By understanding what can cause eye colors to change, you can determine if what you’re experiencing is typical or if you should see a visionary eye doctor.

Here is a look at common causes of eye color changes. Natural Age-Related Eye Color Changes One of the most common situations that leads to changes in eye color occurs in children. When a baby is born, their eyes are usually lighter or bluer. Mainly, this is because a newborn hasn’t had sun exposure, so the melanin in their eyes isn’t fully developed.

As they are exposed to light, melanin production increases, causing the color of their eyes to shift. However, eye color changes can also occur as a person ages. Those with lighter color eyes – especially Caucasians – may see their eyes lighten over time.

The pigment slow degrades over time, resulting in less color. Other Situations Leading to Eye Color Changes Sun Exposure 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. Medical Treatments Some medications may alter eye color.

One prime example was a name-brand eyelash growth serum that was available by prescription. While the side effect was rare and usually required the drops to be applied to the eye – not the lash line, as it was meant to be used – a chemical in the serum could have the ability to impact eye pigments.

It’s also possible for other medications and surgeries to result in eye color changes. If that’s a potential side effect of a treatment, your eye care specialist will discuss it in advance. Nearby Colors In some cases, it may look like your eye color has changed when, in reality, your eyes are the same color.

Changes to the size of your pupils can cause your eye color to appear slightly different. Partially, this is because your limbal ring (the darker ring on the outside of the iris) is closer to the pupil’s edge. This can make your eye color appear darker because less of the iris is visible.

  • Additionally, other colors near your eyes may impact how your eye color is perceived.
  • For example, your clothing, makeup, hair, and glasses frame color may all influence the apparent hue of your irises.
  • However, most of that is an illusion.
  • When a different color is near your eye, slight reflections of those shades might make your eye color seem different, even though it isn’t.

In a similar vein, changing the colors that are near your eyes may create more or less contrast than is usually there, making the hue seem stronger or weaker due to an adjustment in the comparison. Similarly, crying, allergies, or other activities that cause the sclera – the white part of the eye – to redden may make the irises seem slightly different.

Again, this is because the area near the iris changed hues, not because the iris itself is a new color. Medical Conditions There are medical conditions that can lead to shifts in eye color. Heterochromia – a condition that causes a person to have two different colored irises or more than one color in a single iris – may result in color changes.

Horner’s syndrome may cause the eyes to lighten. Pigmentary glaucoma and Fuch’s heterochromic uveitis – an inflammatory condition – may also result in changes to the iris. The same goes for eye melanoma, a type of cancer. Consult a Reputable Eye Doctor The eye care specialists in Buffalo, NY at ECVA take the safety and health of our patients’ eyes seriously.
