Have you ever wanted to change your eye color? Have you looked into or tried any of these methods? The science of eye color: ru-vid.com/group/PLzi60fSuOmPAVosUyuzXhhc1cERyVSZOM
I’m very happy with my blue/grey eyes 😊 but I have an off topic question about my new progressive glasses, they aren’t my first pair but I’m having trouble with these, lots of distortion especially in that they make me feel shorter and most circles look oval. It’s very off putting. How long should I wait before these effects go away? Will they go away? I have been using them every day for almost 3 weeks. Is there a point by which I should go back and see if the prescription or build is correct? If I were to change my eye colour I would go orange like my cat!
Question for you Dr., how would eye color change naturally? Mine were a rich brown until mmm my mid 20s or so, then they turned hazel. Further, how would I reverse the change ?
Can arcus senilis be removed? And if yes, how? Yes, I know they say to ignore them because they don't affect eyesight, but no, I don't care. Everyone, including me, wants rid of them.
Doctor, are colour contact lenses safe to wear if you have stage 4 cancer? (The cancer has only metastasised to bones, however, one of the sites named as it's "likes" is the fat/muscle at the back of the eye). Guessing you'd probably say "speak to your oncologist" but just wondering if there was much research? (Cancer: invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast, lymph nodes positive, metastases only visible/biopsied in bones so far)
back when I was like, 10, doing a yearly eye check-up. doctor told me that I had some rare eye problem and I had to go see a specialist immediately as I had the risk of going blind. it was the best optometrist in the city too. apparently was misdiagnosed. I was 10, so I didn't understand what he said, all I knew was that I wasn't gonna go blind. pretty vague I know, I was a kid, and things happen too quickly. i am thankful for my vision
I turned a brown eye into a blue eye from a really bad eye infection. I lost sight in the eye. Went to the cornea surgeon (I have cornea transplants), he freaks out and sends to the retina specialist, who sends me to another retina specialist. I kept most of my eyesight and am really fortunate.
@@crystalzreyes2848 We don’t have a direct cause of the infection. The last surgery was months earlier. That day was surreal. And then I got admitted in a hospital to make sure I didn’t have a systemic infection. 4 days of antibiotics.
@@crystalzreyes2848 he tried to say that he turned his brown eye into blue by an infection, not because he wanted to change it, it’s known as injury induced heterochromia
colored contacts work just fine without the risk. I have the air optix you mentioned plus Freshlook is good too. Always check the expiration date on the box too.
Contact lenses aren't as secure as they say, there's a risk of catching bacteria from bathing or sleeping with them in, or even from prolonged use without taking them out, it's risky to wear lenses, I've seen cases of people having one eye damaged and losing sight in one eye.
I already had somewhat unusual-looking hazel eyes and one of them is much darker due to drops I was prescribed about seven years ago for elevated pressure in that eye. I only took the drops for two or three months, and the color change is still present and noticeable. It freaks some people out, but I don't mind it. My eye doctor took photos (with my permission) to share at a conference because I was her first patient who had only one eye treated and for whom the color change was so noticeable.
Sadly, this is sometimes true. And even though contact lenses are FDA approved (or cleared, depending on the classification), people still get horrible infections from them all the time.
I have hazel eyes for 63 years and I've noticed they get much bluer when I'm emotionally excited. Such as in love or in a great mood. For what it's worth.
I also have hazel eyes but when I get emotional they turn green. Individuals close to me know they need to watch out when my eyes are green. My father also had hazel eyes that turned very green when he cried.
U just need to except their are ppl that are not happy in their lifes an wants to do things to make it more bareable. Not everyone is happy like you ppl that havent gone though much. Atleast their not on drugs and other lethal methods for brief relief
Wow, I can't believe anyone would risk their sight to do any of these. My own eyes have changed over my lifetime of 76 years, but it was totally natural as far as I know. Could diet or some hormonal things have any effect? I don't know, but there are many things we don't understand in this world. 💕💕💕
I agree that there are many many things we don't yet understand in this world. That is why I try to keep an open mind about things. I have not seen any published science on diet but I imagine it could, in some way - as medications are derived from plant sources. Otherwise, melanin production on the iris is partially due to sympathetic innervation. And so perhaps changes to the autonomic nervous system could result in small changes over time. That is why people who develop horner's syndrome can lose pigment in the eye.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Horner's Syndrome sounds interesting. Perhaps you should do a video on that. There must be a myriad of topics you could touch on that would interest viewers. Great information here Doctor. Good job. 💕💕💕
I'm 72 and my blue eyes seem to have faded over time. I used to have a nice dark ring around my iris but it can barely be seen now. Any eye doc I've ever gone to could never give me an answer as to why. I'm curious.
@@divergentone7491 I agree that good vision is more important than eye color but I've a very curious person. That's why I want to know why my eye color has faded. I read medical studies at pubmed.gov to find out what I want to know but haven't found anything on this.
If it is 90%, success rate, what of the 10% that had no success. Does the article outline the % of those who have irreversible damage to theirs sight? I personally would want a 1 in a million risk of damage, not 1in 10!!
I have wanted to change my eye color TEMPORARILY. If I could play around with color contacts just to see what I would look like with different colors just to satisfy my curiosity I would. But now that I need progressives, it’s more trouble than it’s worth
I would be glad to just be able to see out of my eyes and not be completely blind. I use to always want brown eyes. Because my mother and my sister had brown eyes.
U just need to except their are ppl that are not happy in their lifes an wants to do things to make it more bareable. Not everyone is happy like you ppl that havent gone though much. Atleast their not on drugs and other lethal methods for brief relief
I had brown eyes my whole childhood. Then when I went to college, they slowly changed to olive green, which they remain today 20 yrs later. Around that time I also started taking birth control (treating serious PCOS), and always wondered if the hormones were the cause of the change.
See Brooke goldner here on youtube she reversed her lupus with raw cruficerous vegttables in 3 months and have many patiens that have improved vision on same diet too also carnivore have helped peoples eyes too.
What about laser “stroma”? It’s supposed to reduce some melanin, and turn dark eyes to lighter colors. It was discovered while treating glaucoma with laser, some patients with very dark brown eyes ended up with either hazel, green or blue, depending on the amount of melanin that was secondarily destroyed by the laser during glaucoma surgery.
I am not sure if it is true, but a few years back I read a "scientific article" claiming that folks with blue eyes have a higher rate of cancer. (I can't remember what type of cancer was mentioned in the article.)
@@volgshtein you're spot on. Food and Drug Administration. People like to give them crap because there's a lot of corruption in US healthcare and they're certainly not perfect but I don't think people realize what a hellscape we would live in without it. I definitely have my own frustrations but I don't understand the extra hate some people have for an agency that regularly keeps them alive.
I've been eating a lot of greens baby kale, spinach etc.. while your video prompted me to take a picture of my eyes & they are a lit more green then ever before. I've been eating more greens for at least 5 mos.
Last month, I had emergency surgery for a severely torn retina. As a very visual, artistic person, I am deeply grateful my vision has been mostly restored. Good vision is so often taken for granted. Use designer contacts suppled by a licensed optometrist.
Glaucoma eye drops can turn light eyes brown, doesn’t away happens. My mum had to use them and it didn’t happen, she had unusual light blue green eyes but they stayed the same. She moved to another treatment instead because it was not the right one for her glaucoma. But not maybe people know this can happen.
The last six months of my Dad's life, his eyes changed from hazel to light blue. As far as I know he wasn't taking any medication other than antibiotics. If mood affects eye color, he was angry, suspicious and moody during his last days. I also remember a woman who claimed her eyes changed from brown to bright blue as a result of eating massive amounts of raw fruits and vegetables.
Sorry to hear about your father’s passing. Very interesting to think how the eyes could change color with mood. I know if he had hazel eyes, perhaps the changes in mood as changed the tone or contraction of the iris muscles, and that showed a different part of the iris that had more blue pigment??
My dad's eyes would change from green to blue. The myth busters have an episode about using thought to change eye color. The results were inconclusive but they couldn't bust it.
The windows of the soul. My eyes were dark brown. Every year older I get they are getting lighter. Now I have a blue rim. Many in my fam have blue tho so it’s def in my genes. Nobody cares about eye colour when ur old tho I think. Nobody looks at me much anymore. 😅
My eyes are so dark brown they dang near black. BUT, in the morning they're like a firey ebony 😏😌. And in MEPS exam I scored "Eagle Eyes". 💯 I thank God 🛐
My eyes changing from dark brown to golden with a turquoise outer circle. Haven't used anything but clear eyes for years. Maybe just old age changes the eyes anyway. 😮
The colour of my eye has changed recently. My irus was a chocolate brown colour all my life. However I have noticed that they are now hazel - ie light brown with a tinge of green. I dont really know why, but in the past two months i have changed my diet and lifestyle dramatically. I have stopped eating processed foods as well as sugar and all forms of flour & wheat. I only eat a small portion (113 grams) of protein I also dont drink alcohol anymore, either. I have also been doing yoga and meditation daily. I wonder as my body, mind, and spirit heal that this is changing acting my eye color. I am curious to know what might be the reason for significant change in eye colour. Note accoring to blood tests and Dr exam i dont appear to have cancer or disease.
Cutting out all processed food, seed oils, sugars (esp fructose) & wheat flours & booze - wow! Good job! I do bake my own bread sometimes (rarely) with einkorn whole wheat & bamboo fiber, but there are carnivore "bread" recipes too that work nicely. Please do be careful of oxalates if you are eating veggies... So very happy you found a PHD - Proper Human Diet!
Mine did the same thing. My eyes have been light brown green hazel all of my life and have gotten more green/gold with hints of turquoise after cutting alcohol and having green drinks daily. I also do yoga and pranayama practices. And I don’t eat processed foods, sugar, etc. I do think that what we put into our bodies affects the brightness/color of the iris. Just like what we put into our bodies affects the radiance of our skin, hair, etc. Makes total sense to me!
There is a RU-vidr that has a channel about plant based diet, she said the same and she showed her pictures before and after, she’s a vegan for 7 or 8 years now
Your vision is precious and once compromised cannot be gotten back. Just so you can impress someone else? Please don't.I got radial keratotomy to improve my vision from a dork and have scars forever.
Sorry to hear that I did Smile surgery last year in the United States and it has ruined my vision at night time or dim settings. Its a honest shame that this has happened to us because of refractive surgeons greed. I don't think there will ever be a cure for us. Man how much I regret doing this surgery by far its the worst decision I have ever done. @DoctorEyeHealth I see why you never did refractive surgery, after having it done myself. I took it upon myself to learn and understand the whole anatomy of corneal structure and optical system because clearly these business men would ever inform their patients because anyone would walk out the clinic they run. I wont state all the potential side effects because it will make this comment into a research paper. Plus you of all people would understand all the side effects. Even if rare its never worth it, just on the suction that is used on the eye there is a small but real chance that one can get Posterior Vitreous Detachment, but that's beyond the point just wish I never did it and understand why some eye doctors after studying the human eye would never do so. So since you are in the eye care world is there anything in the future pipe line for post complication patients that have had their lives ruined because of refractive surgery. LIRIC? Stem-cell regeneration technology? Or something more science fiction Gene expression to build up our corneas from our genetic code that seems impossible to be frank but it nice to think given how desperate I have gotten. Or just to accept my cursed vision and use a band-aid like Ovitz Scleral contacts?
@@DoctorEyeHealthMy RK which was done in the 1990s was great for about a year and then regressed. The doctor did ALK to fine tune it but I was never able to go without glasses after. I began having multiple issues which mostly caused by dry eye problems, something I’d had before the procedure. Over time it became worse, plugs were tried but worked out, one didn’t come out completely. After several years I found a different doctor who referred me to a cornea specialist that explained when my RK was done the flaps weren’t laid down smoothly so I had ripples in them causing uneven tear flow. He sanded one cornea but the other hasn’t been. Both are uncomfortable always and I’ve used tear drops made from my own platelets which help the most. Eventually, my tear ducts were permanently sealed after finding there was part of the plug still inside and causing an infection, the specialist is terrific and listens when I tell him something isn’t right with my eyes. Cataract surgery is next but I waiting as long as possible due to concerns of more dry eye issues. I would never encourage anyone to have corrective surgery just to give up glasses or contacts.
I have hazel eyes, as a child they were green in the outside and the starburst was this amber color, as I grew the starburst grew and now took over the entire eye, except the outer ring, with is still grey. I wish there was a way I could recede it back, I loved my eye color before.
I’m farsighted in one eye, nearsighted in the other and astigmatism in both. But they’re generally healthy. I’d rather not risk that. So I’ll stick with the contacts.
Contact lenses aren't as secure as they say, there's a risk of catching bacteria from bathing or sleeping with them in, or even from prolonged use without taking them out, it's risky to wear lenses, I've seen cases of people having one eye damaged and losing sight in one eye.
Surgery on the eye for purely cosmetic purposes is about as insane as it gets. I got multifocal lens implants in my eyes three years ago to remedy cataracts, which were almost bad enough to keep me from reading or driving. It's so nice just to be able to see again.
Hi, can you tell me how to make my eyelashes grow longer and thicker in a healthy way that won't cause any problems for my eyes? The things I see on TikTok look like scams and might cause infections. I just want your help on how to grow my eyelashes, and I'm 13 years old
this is so educational I never knew you could permanently change your natural eye colors except for color contacts...nd to know they can have possible side effects with eye color surgery.
I tried color contacts way back when they first came out. Because they were not popular many people didn’t notice, but I did. They were ugly in my opinion and they move around so people can truly see that you have on the contact. Fortunately, I grew up and love my brown eyes, they were made for me so I wear them with pride.
I did not! But that will be mentioned in a short later this week. While that procedure does have some success reported in the literature, there are also case reports of severe cases of glaucoma. Still considered a risky procedure by most surgeons.
"and, if you don't like the color of the contact, you can't just remove them from your eye and be left with crazy awesome natural light blue eyes." lol Wear sunglasses, don't mess with your eyes, keep you vision. As someone who is slowly losing their ability to see half decently I can't imagine people ever asking this question. Be thankful for what you have
I have Hazel eyes & over to greenish sometimes. I found that eye stress will cause my eyes to go hazel period. I also discovered a long time ago, if I wore vermillion (red) safety glasses my eyes would become very relaxed and my eye would turn a color of Green that even I Liked. But they never stayed green from long. With age (I rarely wear shades) and how hard it is to find the right glasses anymore, Hazel they are.
As someone who indulges in costume making and -wearing I sometimes wear these crazy contact lenses. Some of them were actually more comfortable to wear than my normal day-use contact lenses (though I still wear glasses most of the time). Some weren’t though and I didn’t even try to get used to them if it didn’t feel right. My eye-health is way too important to strain them like that.
I use drops for glaucoma and was told my eyes would turn brown. I have green eyes, and the drops actually have only made them a very slightly darker shade of green. The funny thing about my eyes is that when they're irritated or I cry, they turn the same glowing color like the Hulk. I wouldn't change the color. My husband and seven of our kids have blue eyes and one has gray, so I enjoy having a different color than everyone else.
My eyes are naturally blue (almost just like the eye on the computer screen in this video just a tad darker) but can change colors from blue/blue yellowish to green/ green yellowish like a mood ring and even all 3 kind of mixed together. I've noticed that when I'm in a good/fantastic mood or happy (the happier the more bright blue) they are blue, when I'm angry especially for a good while they turn green and when I'm absolutely furious they change to almost an emerald green, and when I'm bummed out/in a rut/depressed or anything else of similarities they're a mix of all 3 colors.
Depending upon what I'm wearing my eyes go from grass green to teal blue. It might be my mood like my mothers. When she feels bad her eyes are a gorgeous teal. When she feels good her eyes are a very pale blue like one of my albino horses.
I've heard reports (admittedly anecdotal) that diet can change your eye color over time. Is this at all plausible? Eating a lot of carotenoid-ruch foods like carrots or sweet potatoes, for instance, can definitely change your skin color to more orange-tinted🙂
My husband had quite dark brown eyes but when we both changed to a healthier low carb no processed food way of eating they gradually lightened to mostly blue.
Let me be the millionth person that tells you how absolutely mind boggling gorgeous eyes you have. I know it's nothing new, I just needed to be one of the herd. To be really honest, I needed to snap myself out of the star-gazing multiple times. Not in a thirsty way, I think eyes are fascinating. I have brown eyes, but I've had several people telling me there's a hint of green in them. And I'm NOT complaining.
I wish it was possible to change the color of my eyes just by TELLING them to change into the color that I want , it sucks we don't get to choose what we want instead we're born with what we DON'T want
Tell her to read the warning label. B & L actually has a separate website for the one that’s so heavily advertised, & it’s only warning is, “Do not use near eyes.”.
There are some brands out there. Custom ones we can have ordered. The downside is the tech is older and not super healthy for the eyes long term. (like I wouldn't personally wear them for over 1-3 hours). The reason for this, I believe, is economics. The machines that make modern contact lenses cost up to about 20-60 million dollars to design and make. And those machines also can wear down... so super expensive investment. And then the market for colored lenses is not huge...and then the market for not only colored lenses but ones for astigmatism??? and making them available at all powers and levels of astigmatism??? that's a very risky business model.
@DoctorEyeHealth I have a question for you. Every male in my father's side of the family, myself included, as far back as our family has been able to document it, has had eyes that change color on their own, beyond our control. Usually my eyes appear sort of a hazel color, but from time to time, they have been known to change between an almost sidewalk grey, a deep dark or bright blue, an odd dark red, and occasionally either a dark or bright green. It has been like that with all males in my father's side of the family, and no we aren't using contacts, or anything you mentioned in this video. I guess my question is, since this is clearly something genetic, in your professional opinion, could this be some kind of a mutation?
All of my significant others have claimed that my eyes change color. Im not sure technically what color my eyes are, but they are mixed for sure. I think that it depends on colors that you wear, and lighting conditions.
It is so easy to defend being happy with your eye colour when it is not dark brown... it's just like body fisique... count the proportion of blue/green-eyed people in Holiwood for instance, compared to brown-eyed and you will see the extreme bias...
I wore colored contact lenses for 20+ years and loved them. I have hazel eyes and they change color largely depending on what I wear and wanted to have the same color every day. Unfortunately, I can't tolerate lenses anymore; otherwise, I'd still have blue eyes. 😀
optitain here - had a patient come in for new reading gls and while we were talking mentioned that her eye colour had changed because she'd had cataract surgery and they messed up during it! she went from a hazel/honey colour into a muddy brown shade
Ny mostly green eyes with yellow tints vlose to iris in them become more brownishis yellow that sometimes look darker green at edges instead of the quite clear green color that was before anf no idea why. Maybe just with time I guess
Sir what do you mean by the axis power and cylindrical power written on the Prescriptions ? I am from India and in grade 10 ! Love to watch your videos !
Hey thank you for asking! This is a really old video (that I need to remake), but there is a section that walks over the powers of the prescription. Maybe I will make a quick video on that topic this week. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u14x39-0Tvw.htmlsi=yDK7jGcidDO6tytT
Back in the mid 80’s I was being fitted for contacts. After several types weren’t fitting well my doctor gave me tinted lenses from CIBA brand. They fit well and worked well. Instead of the printed colors like the lenses on this video, they were tinted with color so you couldn’t see that they were fake. They couldn’t change dark eyes to blue for example. But light eyes could be changed. My eyes are green/brown hazel, I wore aqua tint and my eyes looked very green! I wonder if similar lenses are still available.
Yes they are! Sadly, the quality of a lot of the colored lenses that come out of some areas of the world are pretty poor quality, the lens materials are scary old tech.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I caught when you said that during the presentation. I am not good at putting drops in my eyes so contact lenses are not my short list. Plus, having blue eyes already, why mess with perfection 😉
They offer “eye sizing” in Korea to get the exact measurements for colored contacts to suit your iris size. Colored contacts lenses are called “hon-hyeol” lenses. Hon-hyeol means “mixed blood/foreigner”. It’s considered attractive to look Eurasian in East Asia countries.
my eyes change color based on the lighting alone. Reads brown most of the time, in semi direct light - hazel and in direct light they read a sage green. Does freak people out at first as they do not expect it. Its my party trick LOL.
If a manufacturer isn't willing to clearly list ALL ingredients on their product, and explain what the unknown words mean...there is no way in hell I'd risk using their product to change my eye color. It's not worth risking vision to stroke an ego.
Viewed this because I’m curious about why my blue eyes have turned dark green, just like my Dad’s did. It’s a pretty color so I don’t really mind. “Fading and changing over time” I guess.
I plan to do this through pigmentation surgery! Can't wait! 😢 blue eyes are my fav! Can you explain further how injecting dye into the eyes through this surgery is safe? What kind of dye do they use? Is it artificial dye? I'm doing it regardless. 😢
Not anything that would do that. She had cataract surgery yrs ago but they changed before that. It's very bizarre. It was hard to get use to. She will be 90🌹
As I’m getting old now, my brown eyes are getting much lighter. Blue around rim now. I’m never had surgeries or serious infections or anything. Many folk in my fam have blue eyes though so it’s in my genes but the younger I was, the darker brown they were. Now just lighter every year. I doubt they’ll go totally blue at this slow rate unless I leave to 500! 🤣😂 But after 50 eyelid sags so much that surely nobody notices anything about my eyes!
There is one more way to change eye color and it is uber safe: eating honey, eating spinich and I wish I could remember other food items that work. Spinich makes brown eyes darker I think. Anyway, research it and try that first since it's sooo harmless. Can't believe he didn't mention it here.
Honey works especially Manuka Honey they basically reduce the melanin production in the eyes but you have to be on a plant based diet like eating raw fruits and certain vegetables to really reduce the melanin production in your body/digestion system. Also Vitamin C is a must daily use but you can also use astaxanthin which is a powerful antioxidant 6000 x stronger then Vitamin C which also inhibits the production of melanin green tea also helps.
I would say try high quality color changing contacts. Then you’re less likely to encounter any issues with your eyes. I would rather be paralyzed from the waist down, than to be blind.
My cousin had green eyes as a little girl age8.when I saw her as a young woman her eye color had change to a gold brown. HER SISTER EYES REMAINED THE SAME GREEN.
I'm more interested in how eye color can change on its own. I once had rich dark brown eyes about 20 years ago but within the last 10 to 15 they've gone hazely. Brown towards the center and more greenish towards the outer. It makes my eyes look very watered down from my original color
Pro Baseball pitcher Max Scherzer has that. One blue and one brown eye. There’s this social media influence who also (supposedly) has heterochromia but it’s rumored she got the Bright Ocular iris implant. She went viral for having heterochromia.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I wish other informational videos were this straight forward with fact checking & sources noted. I’ve thought about colored contacts for awhile just for fun or a change had no idea that some could be dangerous. And being able to change your eye color permanently that is wild medical terminology is amazing these days.
