Contacts If you're looking for a very "bare bones"
way to change your eye color, you can't go wrong with contact lenses.
If you think about it, this is actually a very easy and simple way to change your eye
color...without changing your eye color.
After all, you'd not be changing what is actually there, but what is actually being "shown"
to the people around you.
After all, the way the contact lenses are built is that they "mask" or cover up your
iris and pupil and then allow you to "portray" the color that you want to show.
Now, while many of these contact lens have more party-style color schemes, you can also
get them in very basic colors.
You can even get some that have slight effects to them to have your eyes pop even more, which
I'm sure many of you will appreciate in some form or another.
And of course, if you're looking to have fun, these contact lens can be gotten to make your
eyes look REALLY interesting.
You can make it look like you have cat eyes, or an unnatural color like white or pure black.
The only caution I have for you, is that if you actually have true contact lenses (the
prescription kind), don't use these colored lens as a "substitute", they don't work that
way.
If you want to use these lens in any way, make sure you get ones that will enhance your
vision, not make it worse.
Still, it's a simple way to change your eye color, and it won't cost much depending on
what you get.
Seems like a win-win here!
8.
Surgery They say there's a surgery for everything
in the world today, and so it honestly shouldn't be a surprise that there is a surgery that
can change your eye color.
But, being up front right now, the surgery is not without side effects, and it's very
risky.
How risky?
Well, one person who got the surgery did go partially blind.
But, you also could get the different eye colors that you want, so that's something
you'll have to weigh the risk of.
The question you likely are having right now is, "How is it possible to surgically alter
eye color?"
Well if we're being technical, there are two ways.
The one I was referencing before is a type of laser surgery, not unlike Lasik.
However, unlike Lasik, this surgery is used to burn away the melanin in your eyes, which
help create your eye color.
So for a brown-eyed person, burning away the Melanin will allow them to have blue eyes.
That's a big difference, and according to the doctor, it only takes about 20 seconds
to do the full operation.
However, it does take a few weeks for the effects of the operation to actually show
up.
Again, the surgery is NOT for everyone, and one person posted on Instagram how they were
blinded by it, and the doctor who created the surgery acknowledged the fact that they
needed to study the side effects of the process.
So do know that before you go in.
...what's that?
What's the other way to change your eye color through surgery?
Well, it's called an eye transplant.
It's also risky, but it has been done in the past.

Your Age Your body is many things, but one thing it
almost always is...is evolving.
For you when you are young, you look much different than how you are when you're an
adult, because your body is literally growing into your body.
And if you pay attention to a baby and their eye color, you'll notice something that isn't
there when they grow up.
Mainly, when babies are born, they tend to have a greyish eye-color.
Or, in other cases, they'll have very light blue eyes.
Why is this?
Well, because babies are new to life, they don't have all the Melanin they need to develop
their true eye color.
But, as they grow older, and their body evolves, the Melanin increases, and then their eyes
darken into what they're "meant" to be.
Now, for those wanting a more immediate solution, this isn't helpful, as you can't just "grow
melanin" when you're an adult that'll let you change your eye color, sorry.
There is a catch though, for when you grow older, your body starts to lose all the Melanin
that it stored up over the years, and thus, your eye color starts to change once again.
So if you are truly desperate to change your eye color, just wait, it'll happen eventually.

Lighting Honest question, how many of you out there
are actors and actresses?
Could be professionally, could be for fun, or it could be you've done it in high school
and college, whatever works.
That many huh?
Well, then you'll know the importance of lighting on a stage.
For having the right lighting sets the mood for the scene that's about to be portrayed,
right?
As well as keeping the focus on characters that need to be focused on.
What you might not notice at the time though is that when you adjust the lighting in a
room, you adjust your eye color.
How can that work?
Well, think about how your eye works.
Your eye is comprised of many parts, but one of the most important parts is the pupil,
which is what you see out of.
When you are in a brightly lit room, your pupil contracts in order to protect your eye,
as it won't absorb as much light that way.
In contrast, when you have a darker setting, your pupil expands in order to capture all
the light within the room.
When the pupil expands or contracts like this, it actually changes your eye color, because
it compresses or loosens the pigments that help define your eye color, and this makes
it so that your eye color is lighter or darker than before.
Granted, it's a short-term solution, but it's one that is proven by science.
So, want to change your eye color?
Dim the lights, or bring out the spotlight!
5.
The Sun Sticking with "lighting your way" to new eye
color, there's a big light ball in the sky that can help you change your eye color.
Yep, I'm talking about the sun.
It's through a bit of a roundabout way though, so this is another "procedure" that isn't
for everyone.
So, remember Melanin?
The thing that helps give you eye color in some cases?
Well specifically, Melanin is a dark brown pigment of color, and it helps darken your
eyes to various shades depending on how much you have.
And it doesn't just work on your eyes, it also is within your skin.
Anyway, Melanin is actually activated by the suns rays.
This is why if you stay out in the sun for a good amount of time, you get a tan, because
the Melanin in the body is activated.
So, by that token, you can actually make your eyes darker by having them exposed to the
sun for a good amount of time.
However, as school hopefully taught you, starring directly at the sun is a surefire way to damage
your eyes, and in the non-changing your eye color way.
You'll have to get a bit creative, but if you do it right, you'll have darker eyes soon
enough.

Makeup and Clothing They say...that the clothes make the man...and
the woman too.
And while this is very much a subjective thing (seriously people, dress how you want to dress...within
reason!), how you portray yourself in terms of clothes and makeup actually can help define
your eye color.
Now, by "define", I don't actually mean change, however, it will change how people see it.
Think of your iris and pupil like a painting.
If you put a dot of some color on a white background, it's there, and visible, but it's
not exactly "popping".
But, if you add more details and life to the background, the dot itself will seem to be
more "vibrant" and "full of life".
For women, this can be done via eye liner, mascara, and other such products.
Using the right colors will actually bring out the texture and detail of your eyes when
others look at you.
Same with the colors of your clothes.
By accessorizing the right way, you actually will make it seem like your eyes are more
colorful.
Again, this is not exactly true, your eyes will still be the same color, but it is a
step in the right direction if you're willing to try it out.
3.
Emotions This one might seem cliche, but it's actually
very true, emotions affect your body in all sorts of ways, and not just in how you're
feeling at the moment.
Your emotions actually stimulate your body in ways that can affect you physically, including
how your eye color looks.
You won't notice it because you'll be feeling one way or another, but when you're feeling
positive emotions, your irises tend to become lighter, or brighter.
Whereas when you are feeling low, and angry, your eyes become darker due to the massive
uptick of your heart rate and your breathing patterns.
Again, it's subtle, and it's not like you'll turn green or anything, but in this way, your
eyes actually change colors all the time, and that's pretty cool.
2.
Health I'll admit, this one is a bit more scary than
the other ones, but there are times when your body is sick that it actually changes your
body chemistry, and thus, changes your eye color.
Sometimes, it's as simple as having a cold, but, there are also a variety of eye diseases
that can change your eye color in a meaningful way.
That being said...I wouldn't recommend trying to go this path, after all, your health should
be a major bigger factor than your eye color, right?
1.
Food There are a lot of "snake oil" remedies for
just about everything, especially when it comes to food, but when you look at the hard
science of what food does, you'll find there are certain types of food that can most definitely
affect your eye color.
Here's a few of them for you.
Spinach!
Yes, the favorite food of Popeye the Sailor Man won't just make you stronger (in theory),
but it will actually help your eyes.
This is because the vegetable is rich in iron.
And having a good amount of iron in your body will lead to your eyes being healthier, younger
looking, and will allow your eyes to "shine" more, which will affect the color.
There is a very terrible myth out there that putting certain kinds of honey in your eyes
will change your eye color.
Do NOT do that.
However, eating organic honey can help change your color in the right way.
For if done right, and with a little luck, the hue of your eye will get brighter.
Fish, Olive Oil, Onions, Nuts, Chamomile Tea, and a few others are types of food that you
can use to alter your eye color in some fashion.
However, as in all things, you should consult a source familiar with the process before
trying it yourself.
For a diet is only as good as the management of it.
