I had a conversation on MSN with a Dutch friend who said her eye
colour changed. I was not aware that a person's eye colour can change
over a short period so I was surprised. She showed me a picture
before, when it was green, and then afterwards, it was hazel brown.
Can the experts shed any light on this?

Her:
Hello again... New eye, just made the picture.
Me:
HEY !
Wow, who's eye is that?
Her:
Mine... The colour changed.
Me:
How ?
Her:
Grow up, I guess..
Me:
When was the last picture taken?
I didn't know eye colour could change over time
Her:
The last picture, whew, a few weeks ago.
When I'm sad, my eYes become brown.
Me:
What, seriously? You're eye colour changed colour over a few weeks?
Wow, that's very interesting
Her:

 Me:
And when you're happy, your eye colour is green?
Well I'll ask the professionals about it on a eye forum, and see what
they say
Her:
No, when I'm neutral, my eye's green
Me:
And when you're happy?
Her:
Green
Me:
does it change to any other colours depending on your mood?
Her:
Yes.
Me:
Which colours?
Her:
Neutral: Green
Sad/Angry: Brown.
Me:
That's incredible, I've never known of this phenomenon before
I've heard of eye colour changing over a long period of years but not
over just a few weeks, wow
Her:
Well... It can change in a few minutes.
Me:
Are you serious?
Have you shown this to a Doctor?
Her:
No.
Me:
What do people say when you show them this?
Her:
I've shown you and my mother.
Me:
What was her reaction?
Her:
She thought it was pretty cool.
Me:
If you could make a video of this and post it to YouTube I'm sure
people would be amazed
Her:

Me:
Are you able to intentionally control your eye colour? Or does it
happen unconsciously?
Say, if you were to remember an unhappy memory.
Her:
If I'm feeling really sad... Yes, then they're changing.
Me:
So one second, if you're feeling sad, it will be brown, then if you
remember something happy, can you make it green?
Her:
Err... Yes...
Me:
That's remarkable
Where are you from, again?
Her:
Holland
Me:
I see
So what can I call you? Like, I'm English and you're?
Dutch?
Her:
Yup
Me:
I see
Do you know of anyone else who's eye colour changes? Like, your
relatives or familY?
Her:
No
