3 Ways to Change Your Eye Color (for real)

Learn how to change your eye color! From eye color changing eye drops to the latest eye color change surgery options, in this video Dr. Allen reviews how to change your eye color and the safety risks you need to know about.

I have had several patients and viewers alike ask me if it is possible to change your eye color. Thankfully, modern science has found several ways to change eye color, each with its own considerations for safety and effectiveness.

Eye Color Changing Eye Drops have emerged as a newer option, claiming to alter eye color gradually by either darkening or lightening the iris. However, the safety and effectiveness of these drops are still being researched, and many trending brands have been flagged for questionable safety issues. Potential side effects and long-term consequences of these color changing eye drops require further investigation before widespread use. Caution should be advised.

Eye Color Change Surgery provides a more permanent solution. Procedures such as iris implants involve inserting a colored silicone implant into the eye to change its hue. While this method has been US FDA approved for the treatment of some eye conditions, they are not without risks. As with all forms of invasive surgery, these procedures carry risks such as infection, inflammation, and other complications. Another option, is the newer keratopigmentation surgery, modern techniques involve using a laser procedure to create small channels within the cornea where colored pigments can be injected into layers of the cornea. While less invasive than implants and some publications reporting favorable safety profiles, it's not widely available, and its long-term effects are still being studied.

Colored Contact Lenses offer a reversible way to change your eye color. They come in a variety of colors and can be worn daily or for special occasions. However, it's essential to get a prescription from an eye care professional to ensure they fit properly and to minimize the risk of eye irritation or infection. Proper cleaning and maintenance of the lenses are also necessary to keep your eyes healthy.
Whichever method you choose, it's crucial to prioritize safety and consult with qualified professionals.

[DoctorEyeHealth]

Have you ever wanted to change your eye color? Have you looked into or tried any of these methods?

[RubyMc-vi]

I really don’t care what colour my eyes are, I’m just so grateful that they work…

[Charlie-hx]

Personally this is just crazy. Be glad your eyes work and don’t do anything that causes you to possibly loose your sight. The risk isn’t worth it.

[rahulshah]

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.

[bill-gb]

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.

[sierrastorm]

There is no way I would risk my vision or eye health just to change my eye color.

[runae]

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.

[bambooshot]

I used to silently obsess over eye color in my late teens/early 20s. Most of my mom's family has green, blue or hazel eyes, and I have med brown. I noticed, as a kid, how my cousins received exponentially higher levels of compliments for their eyes, while I received none. The movies, TV shows, and advertisements that fawn over _"baby blue eyes"_ also impacted my perception about my eye color and self worth. I even resented (again, silently) my father for his swarthy complexion and eye color, as I felt he ruined my chances of being "unique."

Now in my mid 40s, I look back and smh. My eyes still work great and that's all I care about. Once you see through the Western propaganda you become more comfortable. My parents gave me my eyes, and I'm immensely proud of that.

[maxwellblackwell]

Just because the fda approved something doesnt mean its safe.

[Stangya]

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.

[darlafitzpatrick]

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.

[LindaR]

I think I'll just keep the faded blue eyes that I have. I don't want to do anything to risk my sight which is decreasing over time as it is.

[pubgbankclan]

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 🛐

[Tulpen]

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.

[rhondaorberson]

"Fancy complex"...yeah that doesn't sound suspicious at all 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[stephaniem]

This is nuts! Love your own eye color, they are all beautiful

[dannerzme]

You have been a staple in my keratoconus journey. I appreciate you so much for that. Thank you for your educational generosity.

[therealnancycarol]

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. 💕💕💕

[SafaiaFureia]

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

[jennieosborne]

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.
