Q.
Hazel Eyes Changing? Why Your Eye Color Shifts and Medical Next Steps
A.
Hazel eyes often seem to change color because of lighting, surrounding colors, pupil size, and their mixed melanin, which is usually normal. Seek prompt eye care if a change is sudden or in one eye, or if you notice pain, redness, cloudiness, or vision changes, since causes can include inflammation such as uveitis, injury, pigment dispersion, medication effects, or rare infection; there are several factors to consider for your next steps, so review the complete guidance below.
