Depending on how much more melanin develops, a blue-eyed baby can end up with green, hazel, or brown eyes. - According to Dr. Ivan Schwab, a clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, head or eye trauma can result in a condition called heterochromia, which is when a person’s eyes have two different colors. - The pigments in your iris compress or spread apart, making them darker or lighter, when the size of your pupil changes.
