I have relatives with light and dark blues but not as contrasted.. their eye colours are more blended.

Great subject btw.

Thanks for the U2U, from looking at the image you eyes are blue without any white like candy stripe or flecks of any other colour, yes you have a dark ring around the lighter blue. As to answer your question, no we don't have the same or even similar eyes. If you had white lines and rusty flecks then yes you would, sorry...

Thankyou.. I might delete that pic now as it's kind of creepy seeing me looking back at myself. Sometimes (depending on the light) the light blue is white but I'm not sure what you mean by candystripe. Are you saying the "inner" iris band is as white as the eyeball? I am really curious to know what your eyes looks like now.

My eyes have been a fascination for people all my life, an uncomfortable trait for someone who avoids eye contact. They're considered gray, as I understand, but they change color varying between shades of blue, blueish-green, light gray and steely gray. I'd like to believe it's a trick of light, but they change regardless of consistency of the lighting and seem to be based, at least in part, on my mood.

I was talking about lines on white going from the edge where the pupil meets the iris going outwards to the edge of the iris.

I tried to get an image but the computer than I am on is abit funny.

Nephra,

Taking a look at your picture, I'm interested to know if you or anyone in your family have a history of cataracts or glaucoma. It might just be the angle of the picture or the flash, but it appears that the lens in your eye is slightly cloudy. I'm sure that your optometrist is following you and its likely nothing, but I just wanted to bring it up.

Yes... that was the picture. It may simply be the angle of the flash. If your optometrist says its ok... then he is most likely right. Just curious, thats all.

My eyes are blue and green. When I am mad my eyes turn green and when I am happy they turn blue. When I am sick my right eye turns blue and my left one turns green.

mine own eyes: for years my family thought i had blue eyes, untill they looked closely>>(think i was getting my passport) 3 in the family have blue eyes, 2 have hazle, think mine are a mixture?

they are a murkey green, a non-discript colour, but there is a yellow frision on the edge of the pupil. i got a magnifying glass to check out the colour,pattern(iris edge),

they are not symmetrical..

i was shocked and amazed at the intense pattern of the yellow,on close inspection the pattern looks like a mother ship, the pupil being the epicentre , crazy i know, but it freaked me out! but you know how you can see things in embers,clouds, etc etc (obviously been on ATS too long)

then i remembered 2 people i met over my life, aquaintances, they were both men, never met each other, but they had ginger coloured eyes, not only that, the colour of their hair(facial hair) ginger, matched the colour of their eyes!

now that was the most unusual colour of eyes i have ever seen! Ginger coloured eyes.

wish i had taken a pic of those babies.

i was reading some of the above chats but mine are hazel but the change color too..some of my friends get kinda wierd out cause on some occasions then turn almost yellow. they have went from blue to green and then turn orange and into yellow but always have a dark teal line around them. its usually a solid color but they also have a combo of the colors like they would do normally with hazel eyes. i cant figure out if its the lighting or the mood tho.

This is an interesting question. Too bad there isn't a lot of information about it. Two of my daughter's have it. One, my middle child whose eyes are like the OP and one whose is denim blue, but at the center they're greenish and on the outer edge light blue like mine. Their dad has eyes like the middle child mine are just solid light blue. So it may be genetic?
