Hi, before I begin I'd like to say that I wasn't sure where to post this, and I put it in both places I thought it might belong...so if you want to move it or delete this go ahead. Please, if you move it, just tell me where . I wasn't sure if I should post this here because I'm not sure if it's a medical thing, my imagination, or something else.

Sometimes when I get really mad...and I mean REALLY mad, not just pissed off, or upset. I mean the kind of mad where you've just given up on everything and life and wouldn't care if you died. When you're so mad...you lose complete control of yourself and do things you normally would NOT do (I'm sure it's happened at least once to everyone). It happened to me just about a week ago, when alot of things were going wrong and my family was just making it worse. I got really mad/upset (Alot of personal things here that I would rather not mention), lost control...did some things (haha) and was ready to go on a long walk through the desert (I find that cools me down) when I look in the mirror. My eyes were different. They're normally blue. Sort of a dull blue. This time, they were turqoise, and they were BRIGHT. It's only happened to me once or twice before that, years ago. Since then, I thought it was just my childish imagination, or bad memory. That was until it happened again (as mentioned above.)

After the walk, when I was cooled down, I looked in the mirror again. They were back to normal. Does anyone know of anything like this? Does this happen to anyone else? I've heard that if you wear a certain color for a while, your eyes shift to that. Maybe it's something like that?

Can eyes change color


You forgot to mention catagory 2, it could possibly be nothing or no good reason. I would opt to say its a blood pressure issue. Very interesting article though. Its a shame there isnt too much info on this phenomenom.

Ok first off - yes eyes change colors in babies. Eye color is determined by how much melanin is present, and as babies grow these levels can change. Many are born with a grey color, and then develop into blue, brown, hazel, etc.

From:
ask.yahoo.com...
Eye color is determined by the amount of melanin, a dark brown pigment, present in your irises. Blue eyes are due to a lack of melanin, while brown eyes indicate melanin-rich irises. Thus, people with darker hair and skin have higher levels of melanin and tend to have brown eyes, while people with lighter hair and skin have lower levels of melanin and usually have lighter colored eyes. This is also why many babies are born with blue eyes. Their eyes change color later as they begin to produce more melanin.

As for why they can change color with mood - I mentioned my guess about blood pressure above, and also ever watch what happens to peoples' skin when they get angry or upset? Blood often rushes to the surface and capillaries pump full with blood causing the skin to redden. The same thing can happen with the capillaries in the iris. The more blood and more red you have present in the iris, the more the color will appear to change.

Or, perhaps you're a dragon! OOOOhhhh!

From: www.dreslough.com...
The most common Earth eye seen in dragons is the simple eye. ...... In dragons, it can be an even greater variety, or change color depending on the breed of dragon. Many dragons have eyes that change color with mood.
