Can eye color change with age? I just checked for the first time in many years and its not what I remembered. Used to be a thin, fuzzy ring of light brown inside a vague cloudy blue. Now it's just cloudy, dull blue. Maybe it changes to accommodate lifestyle and personality
It can change, mostly related to health. For example viruses and diseases can alter iris color.
If it’s cloudy and dull it may also be early stage of clouding of your lenses (cataract).
If you haven’t seen an optometrist recently, you may want to get checked, just to be safe, they can rule out any ongoing problems :)
