It's hard not to admire a pair of beautiful blue eyes. Unfortunately, unless you are born with this trait already, it is not possible to obtain them naturally. However, you can always resort to artificial methods to create the illusion of having this color eyes. We have answered readers' questions on the subject to offer some helpful advice on how to experiment with different colors in a safe and healthy way.
Steps
Method 1 of 7: Is it possible to change eye color naturally?
Step 1. Unfortunately not
Eye color is genetic, as is hair and skin color. Therefore, unless the genetic code or cell structure is changed, no permanent change can be achieved without surgery. The color of the eyes is determined by the quantity of melanin contained in the iris: if it is low, it has a lighter shade; if it is tall, you have dark eyes.
Newborn babies tend to have blue eyes because their bodies have not yet produced much melanin
Method 2 of 7: What's the easiest way to get blue eyes?
Step 1. Wear blue contact lenses
It's the fastest and easiest way to change your eye color without having to physically intervene. Make sure you buy a safe product, prescribed by an eye doctor. If you wear glasses, you can get a prescription for colored prescription contact lenses for everyday wear.
Colored contact lenses you find at home improvement or costume stores are unsafe and could damage your eyes. You should always buy them from a specialist
Method 3 of 7: Can I make my eyes look lighter with make-up?
Step 1. Yes, you can make them appear lighter by using brown and blue tones
Choose eyeshadows and eyeliner in a soft color, such as light brown or light blue: they emphasize the natural shades of blue in the iris, making the eyes appear lighter and brighter.
You can also try using brown mascara instead of the usual black one
Method 4 of 7: Can eye color change with mood?
Step 1. Yes, but it is an almost imperceptible change
If you experience an intense emotion such as anger, sadness or excitement, the pupils may dilate or contract, altering the appearance of the iris; this may make the eyes appear a slightly lighter or darker shade.
Method 5 of 7: Can I make my eyes blue with honey?
Step 1. No, this is an urban legend
Some people claim that diluting honey with water and using it as eye drops can lighten the color of the iris. However, there is no scientific evidence to prove the effectiveness of such a method - in fact, you would just end up giving yourself a nasty eye irritation.
- The iris is located behind the cornea, not on the surface: it is therefore not possible to change the color of the eyes with drops, because they cannot come into contact with that area.
- The same goes for lemon juice: using it on the eyes is useless and harmful.
Method 6 of 7: Is it possible to turn blue eyes with an operation?
Step 1. Yes, but surgically changing your eye color can be very dangerous
There are two types of operations that allow this modification: a laser intervention and the implantation of an artificial iris. Both techniques can cause serious problems: inflammation, cataract formation, increased intraocular pressure, even blindness. If you are considering undergoing such an operation, consult an eye doctor before making any decisions.
Most ophthalmology experts advise against these cosmetic operations: they involve risks that are not worth taking
Method 7 of 7: What does a change in eye color indicate?
Step 1. It could be a symptom of a disease
Possible causes of spontaneous eye color change include iris depigmentation, uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of the eye), Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (a particular form of uveitis), or trauma eye. All of these conditions can lead to blindness and other complications, so you should see an eye doctor right away if you notice anything unusual.
