My eyes are normally brown. I am 30 & sometimes they change to greenish. This never happened before. I only recently started 25mg-100mg of seroquel for insomnia. And metformin for insulin resistance. My last eye exam was this year and my vision came back better than perfect. Here are photos. I assure u it is not ligjhting. The first picture is my normal eye color (brown) second photo is them turning XXXXXXX In person was much more noticable and my family and friends pointed it out to me. They stayed that way for an entire day then became brown again
See below:
First pic is normal (brown) second pic is them changing. I looked in all different lighting and had my family even look amd everyone noticed a change. How is this possible

It was good of you to send the photographs as that settles the issue. This does not happen - the eye changing colour and then reverting back. There are conditions where due to certain inflammatory conditions colour changes the situation are noted. It is lebeled as hetrochromia. However heterochromia colour change is permanent and it does not revert. This hetrochromia is a indicator that infllammation was there.
There has to be an explanation and we should keep you under scanner for this reason. Keep track of any changes that occur and photographs are one level of documentation which is very valuable.
