Well, I did some research for this seemingly unanswerable "problem" with eyes changing color and have came up with a few solutions. My eyes have changed color too in fact; sometimes, I'm a "hazel" which is really more-so like a greenishy-steel blue-brownish-amber color, but I'll call it hazel for simplicity! =D Well, as I was saying, my eyes change color too anywhere from hazel, to a really cool emerald-green, to maybe a little more brownish hazel, and to even greenish-blue. My point, my eye color changes are endless and impossible to describe because they are always changing (now staying at the greenish-blue more) As I'm getting older (I'm a teenager), my hair color has changed along with this. Before when I had hazel colored eyes, my hair was a light brown; now, my eye color is greenish blue with goldish-blonde hair. Strange, but true. I became a little frustrated as to why this was all occuring and people mentioning my eye color is changing and other things, so I did some research.

I discovered that eye color changes for some people because of your age, personality, feelings, genetics, surroundings, and current mood. Sometimes people's eyes don't change color because it's just in their genetics and because their body doesn't have that gene code that says to do that.

For example: If you have green eyes, in the shade outside, happy, calm, and relaxed, while in a pretty laid back mood, your eye color will be darker and more calm looking (along with a dilated pupil). However, if you became angrier, have adrenaline flowing, go into the sun, and are not as calm, your eye color (for a few people) will become lighter and seem not inviting. Sometimes, when you are younger, your eyes will change because your body is growing and changing. It has to do with your genetics and who you are related to. My brother used to have "pure" blue eyes when he was a baby but as he got older and became a toddler, his eyes changed to a greenish-blue, and finally are at green and haven't changed since.

So, the answer to your question is genetics, age, personality, feelings, surroundings, and current mood. Those all have effects in changing your eye color. There is no "medical" reason as to why your eyes change color; it's just your body's way of reacting to situations. I hope that answers your question; sorry for it being so long!

PS: The person who said you can tell someone loves you based on pupil dilation is infact true. If a person looks at you with large dilated eyes, they care for you and like you. There eyes may also sparkle and become very unique looking than before. Same is true for the person who said the opposite reaction.

Not to be a party crasher, all of these theories about emotion/weather-based changes seem kinda silly to me.

Some of it is just due to perceptual changes, as studied by psychology.

^the shades of grey look different, and yet are the same.

If a simple color like gray can look so different in the above illusion, imagine what can happen with complex eye colors such as hazel or gray, which are really mixtures of many different colors.

I'm sure the changes in heart-rate and pupil dilation, blood-flow, etc caused by physiological arousal could also prove to be a factor in the "color change," but for the most part, I really think our eyes don't change color, we just perceive the color differently.

However, there are some "anomaly" or freak incidents where they genuinely do seem to change, I guess, based on some of these testimonies.

What does this mean for all of us? Dress smart (+ eyeshadow) to "change" your eye color subtly or dramatically.

Also, some people's eyes change color as they age. My grandparents eyes are lighter than they used to be.....or maybe they just look lighter....

Thus ends the unasked-for wall of text.

It is not a medical issue or consparicy. my doctor told me its called dirochromatic. meaning yes they change color. i have been in one spot and my wife has watched them change 4 different colors. yes it does it with different color clothes and my mood. but i can also do it on command. it just takes control.
