Is it possible for eyes to change color?
For roughly 10$ U.S. You can use Flora Strips from a costume store to temporarily tint your eye a different color for about an hour.AlsoChromatophores: ability to change color (non specific generalization) - Irida Chromatophore: Specific ability to change eye color Heterochromia : having multiple colors (skin hair eyes etc.., a black and white cow would have Heterochomia) Heterochromia Iridum : Having multiple eye color (an eye specific Heterochromia) - Complete Heterochromia Iridum: 2 different colors for each eye. - Sectoral Heterochromia Iridum : different colors in one eye. ( like a pie, a ring, or dot ) -Central Heterochromia Iridum : multiple spikes of color in the eye. * Hyperchromic Heterochromia Iridum: extra or over laping spikes of color in the eye. * most likely to be an Irida Chromatophore A person who is an Irida Chromatophore may have different color Iris spikes visible at different openings of the iris. This would make the eye color different with mood or lighting. A very small percentage of Irida Chromatophores have been documented to be able to change eye color on command or at will. Some have been able to be trained to do this.

What should you consider when changing car colors?
There are issues in both repainting a section of a car in the original color, and a color change complete respray.For a panel or section of a panel, as a car ages it gets more difficult to match colors due to fading and oxidation. The paint code will be correct, but the car will have slowly changed color over the extended time. See here:The paint can be blended with the original paint, so a definitive line doesn’t show in the paint.For a color-change respray, the issue is not so much color-matching, but the additional cost of the job (especially in prep labor). For a correct job, the door jambs, inside of the trunk/hatch, and engine compartment should match. The weather stripping and glass should be removed for the best result.For our ’56 Nomad, this process included a complete disassembly, body work, and paint. Total of 9 months of work and I don’t want to even admit how much $$$$$.Hope this helps. I’m no expert, so pitch in if anything needs clarification or is in error!
How can we naturally change our eye color into hazel green?
You can’t. If you have brown eyes, your eyes have melanin that make it brown. If you manage to lighten them, remove the melanin they’ll be blue.There are two types of melanin.Eumelanin which is a brownish black colorPheomelanin/lipochrome which is reddish yellowbrown eyes have a lot of eumelanin.So, little to now melanin which reflects blue which is how blue eyes are blue. The Tyndall effect which is also why ocean water looks blue but isn’t actually blue.if someone has absolutely no melanin in their eyes, like people with albinism their eyes may look pink or red since there is no melanin, the redness of blood vessels peak through the eyesWhat makes green eyes? Pale green eyes also lack the typical eumelanin but they naturally have more of the lipochrome melanin which is a yellow hue. When you mix that Tyndall effect with yellow melanin, the eyes will reflect green.brown eyes, don’t really have that larger amount of lipochrome hence why even IF your manage to lighten your eyes it won’t steer green. It’ll become hazel as in hazelnuts/light brown. Once the rest is removed it’ll turn blue.People with dark green eyes which is commonly called “hazel” has a lot of melanin but it has the lipochrome melanin which is why it’s dark yet still green so unless your eyes are dark that lean green, it won’t turn green.This is why green eyes are quite uncommon compared to brown or blue eyes.This is Paul McCartney’s eyes. His eyes look so dark many assumed they were brown but if you look closely they lean green. He likely has as much melanin in his eyes as a typical brown eyes person but he has more of the lipochrome melanin which is why, despite being dark, are still a green hueSome people will classify this as “hazel eyes” but if hazel eyes are greenish then they’re definitely green. The green color ranges from pale green to Forrest green, even olive green which can have some brown in it . Hazel eyes are actually the color of hazelnutsMany people deem those with army green or olive green eyes as “hazel” but they’re shades of green, ergo, green eyes
Can we change the color of our eyes without surgery? If yes, how?
I don’t know HOW you do it, but I know it happens, because it happened to me.All my life I had dark brown eyes. Brown and kind of neat looking centers with narrow very dark green rims, actually - a little like this except there was much more brown ( I found this somewhere on the internet) - basically, a dark brown/green hazel (mine were a lot browner than this photo). All my IDs say my eyes are brown, and they were dark - a lot more brown than this photo, and darker too:This was the case until maybe about two years ago.My eyes are now dark green. A solid, plain dark olive green, with medium brown CENTERS, like solid rings. No more pretty, kind of ‘lacy’ looking texture. Just a dull olive green.I have no idea why. My optometrist says its just age related.No clue.But clearly not brown, and not really hazel either. I have dark green eyes, and I don’t know why.
Is it possible to change eye colour naturally?
Depends on how you define natural. If shining a little stronger light into your eyes falls under that definition, then it is possible, but only in direction from darker (brown, green...) to basic blue.Why? Because we all have blue eyes. In case they are darker, they are still blue eyes, just covered with thin layer of pigment.One commercial company is starting to offer this procedure. This is so called "Strōma procedure" that disrupts this layer of pigment, causing the body to initiate a natural and gradual tissue-removal process. Once the tissue is removed, the patient’s natural blue eye is revealed. The full color change process should take 2-4 weeks following the procedure.The procedure is still not available to wide public, but they are in a phase of clinical testing.If you have brown eyes, you are better protected from the UV rays, so think about these risks before considering the procedure. I would only suggest it to treat something that really improves quality of your life, such as not being constantly stared at like in case of heterochromia, where the color of one eye differs from the color of the other eye. If find it special and beautiful, but I imagine people who have it might not agree. Luckily, we have science and hence options.Source: Stroma Medical Eye Color ChangeProcedure costs around 5000 USD.Source: WTSP video
Is it possible to permanently change the color of the eye?
This is similar to another question I saw on Quora that stipulated "without surgery", but didn't insist on 'permanently'. So, YES IT IS Possible TO CHANGE EYE (iris) COLOR permanently, and it actually happens - fairly infrequently...but... Probably not in the way you would want- that is, not in ways that are benign and attractive cosmetically.So there are "iris implants" that are surgically placed in the eye and they would change the color of the iris. The therapeutic ones don't, as far as I know, try to match the color of the normal iris, but are placed to reduce the glare and decreased depth of focus due to a damaged (trauma or surgical) or absent (aniridia) iris. The cosmetic ones are placed on top of the normal iris but are not approved by the FDA, or in most other countries that control medical implants, and studies show they can have some horrendous side effects. Another answer mentioned treatment of the iris with a laser to change color ( company called "Stroma" is promoting this, which is just using the laser to burn the iris surface, damaging the melanocytes (pigmented cells) and causing loss of melanosomes (pigment granules) - I would guess this has a high risk of inflammation- iritis, and glaucoma, along with possible photophobia later on- uncomfortable sensitivity to bright lights.The anti- glaucoma medications mentioned by another author (prostanoids) cause hazel eyes to get darker- not what most people are trying to achieve. They can also make the eyelashes longer (think Latisse) but can cause increase pigment around the eyes - dark circles, again not a favorite side effect.Again, not the way people want to change their eye color, but- You could try to get a number of diseases that cause iris color to change, either darker or lighter, among them iris melanoma (darker iris) or pigment dispersion syndrome or Horner's syndrome (lighter colored iris). There is a fairly comprehensive list of these conditions in Wikipedia under "heterochromia iridium".Not permanent: Prescription colored contacts are the safest option to make your eyes blue. The non-prescription cosmetic vanity ( also marketed as novelty or theatrical) lenses, have a high risk of complications.
Do you have to report to your insurance and/or the DMV when you repaint a car a different color?
Actually it’s a requirement of vehicle identification as a modification of the factory specs when they released it for normal public use.It’s the same conditions as per your exhaust, emissions, engine, window tinting, etc. to be followed as part of the vehicle safety inspection and certification.Any time a modification is made to a vehicle the owner is required to report it to the DOT/MOT to properly update the vehicle information database. Similarly, your insurance is also based on your vehicles manufacturers specs.So the same vehicle with different specs will have a higher or lower insurance liability risk factor, and thus your insurance premium reflects it.A person buys an old 1987 Chev Monte Carlo equipped with a V6 and pays $1400/yr for insurance based on the factory specs. They replace the motor with a high-performance SBC400, installed a small 6–71 blower, poked a hole in the engine hood for the blower, replace the factory TH200 tranny with a 700R4, replaced the entire rear end with a modified Ford rear end with posi, modified the driveshaft, of course, installed sub-frame connector rails, a H dual exhaust system, removed the cats altogether, installed a 3 core maxi-core rad, part-tubed the rear wheel wells, and installed some much wider tires. Then they illegally tint every window pitch black, every single window.Later this same person would get into a street race and end-up killing a family of 4 in a head-on collision.So when the police arrive and lay street racing charges, seize the vehicle, suspend his license, arrest him, and then send the vehicle to an inspection station. Turns out he’s now also charged with insurance fraud once they notify his carrier and the MOT of the vehicle modifications without informing them, as well as the illegal mods he’s performed. No company would have have been able to provide insurance coverage for the vehicle to be driven on the street. And now he can’t get insurance coverage for less than $12K/yr from the Facilities group of insurance for 5 years after his insurance fraud, street racing, and suspended license period has expired in 5 years or so.There’s a reason why you pay low insurance on an everyday vehicle, much more on a sports car, and sometimes you can’t get insurance or even legally drive some vehicles on the road. On a side note, when a vehicle is stolen, the police and the MOT need to know how to properly identify it when it’s found, and how to be able to identify it if they come across it on the road.
I have always had dark brown eyes. Within the past year or so, from the outside in, my eyes have slowly turned green to the point where now more than 50% of my iris is green. What could cause eye color to change?
The total body is made up of one trillion cells in different sizes and shapes according to the shape and function of organs.The cells are the boss and the worker and the manufacturing unit. The cells have genes which gives the inherited characteristics like color , height,body shape,exceptional qualities,diseases and millions of functions.These genes have the codes for manufacturing Proteins for all functions of the body.Proteins are hormones,enzymes,messengers to carry out various functions of the body as and when required.Each cell is capable of making 100,000 proteins.In your case the dark brown color of your eyes were inherited but as you said that now your eye color is changing to green is due to eye cells are giving instructions by making certain type of protein to change color pigment of the cells which are responsible for the color of eyes as happens to hairs when the color changes in old age.I am in no way an medical expert but in summarized way you can understand that Proteins are responsible for all that happens to the body from birth to death.No one can tell you which protein is responsible for this color change as still research is going on to identify proteins and decoding its structure.Recently Sir John B Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka was awarded Noble Prize for 2012 for their discovery that mature, specialized cells can be reprogrammed to become immature cells capable of developing into all tissues of the body.This is like rewriting the dogma of life.
