Eye Color Change?

Question
Hi there! I'm 18 years old and when I was younger (until about 14) my eyes were bright blue and then they started turning dark green in color so now they're kind of a weird mix that doesn't even have a name... They look like an ocean so they're pretty but... Is that normal...?


Answer
Dear Ash,



yes, this is normal for light coloured eyes which change in colour as they grow because the colour depends on the pigment. However, if the change happens at a later age, it is usually due to some medication etc which then needs to be seen by an eye specialist.



Hope this helps,

Best,
