Hello! May I ask if you are taking any medications? That can change eye color..so can diseases, like Horner's Syndrome, or Pigmentary Glaucoma. A healthy diet can help brighten or lighten the eye color. How is your vision? With some people, their eye color lightens with age. I was born with Black-Brown eyes. Then they changed to Medium Brown, and now they are Light Brown, but sometimes people say they are definately Hazel. With me, it's probably genetic, because my Mom's eyes keep getting lighter as she gets older..but lately she's been seeing ';floaters'; so maybe it's a sign that her eyesight is deterioting. She developed green in her eyes a few years ago, she's Asian, and now those green flecks are a silver color. Still, try to see an Optomologist as opposed to an Optometrist. The first kind of doctor is the real expert, while the other one's eye skills are limited to fitting people for glasses or contacts. How much lighter have they gotten in what span of time? Do you have eye pain? Hope you're ok! : ) Hey Q-tip..I got your e-mail but for some reason, I couldn't send you my answer so I have to do it this way: Sounds like you have Pigmentary Glaucoma..this is what happens: the iris curves and touches the back of your eye. Because of that, the melanocytes flake off and they float around in your eye until your body can metabolize them. They wil also try to leave the eyes by going thru the tear ducts. Sometimes, the tear ducts get clogged and your eye builds up a lot of pressure. And then you have Glaucoma! Please get to a doctor right away, I'm getting worried about you! Glaucoma is very easy to treat in it's early stages. The doctor will just give you eyedrops if you do have Glaucoma. I had Glaucoma after my laser eye surgery in my right eye and the drops took care of everything. Only problem is the eyedrops have a side effect of darkening the iris color in some people. Now my right eye is a tiny bit darker than my left. But, hey, better than going blind. For like 1% of people, their eye color will actually get even lighter. You are too young to have this problem. Please hurry to a doctor and let us know what happens! : ) P.S. Funny that you take iron pills, I heard that they can darken your eye color.
No. The color of your eye is not connected to visual acuity. If you eyesight was changing, you would probably notice it. There is a possibility of disease causing this. See source. If you have not have a professional eye exam in the past 3 years, it would be a good idea to see an optometrist or ophthalmologist..
