> Such relatively common, healthy colour change is mostly confined to early childhood. In another study in the US, which tracked more than 1,300 twins from infancy to adulthood, eye colour usually stopped changing by the age of six, though in some cases (10-20% of those studied), it continued to change throughout adolescence and into adulthood.
This is reassuring. I remember my eye color not stabilizing until well into school age but when I recount this as an adult most people refuse to believe me, insisting that it can't change after the first year of age.
I was born blue eyed, then changed to blue-grey, grey-green and eventually mostly pure green.
- KAMSPioneer 4y agoNo worries, I believe you. I was blue-eyed until I changed to blue-green around 6 and have had 100%(-ish) green irises since about 7 or 8. I've had people not believe me either, which is a little bizarre. Why would I make something like that up?
- lsaferite 4y agoMy kids are 9 and 12 and I'm watching their blue eyes slowly change color. They both have a yellow-ish ring in the very center that's slowly expanding out. It makes for a very striking set of eye colors. I was always told that your eye color is stable after the first few years of life, but that's obviously not correct.
