How and why eye color changes. Pigment in the front layer of the iris (called the stroma) colors the iris. Eye color lightens when pigment granules drop in number, or when the granules make a lighter color. See figure. The iris can also lose color if the pigment degrades.

Eyes, unlike skin and hair, do not synthesize color pigment continuously.

Thanks for posting this.

I had a friend who was very insistent that there was no such thing as "variable eye color". But my eyes, as well as the eyes of several of my friends, has been known to shift color over the course of months.

Where did you find this article?

I've had dark brown eyes for the longest time. Then a friend of mine insisted that I had hazel eyes and I thought he was joking. Apon further inspection I had found that they indeed had developed an olive green color mixed in with the brown......crazy

anyways
I simply went to google and typed in "eyes changing color".
got this http://www.wonderquest.com/eye-color-age.htm

wikipedia also has an article on it as well.

I know someone who can change their eye color. It's very strange- green, then blue, then green again.
My eyes didn't change from blue until I was about nine. Then they turned hazel, and now they're bright green. Interesting.
