At some point within the last year or so my eyes have lightened significantly from the dark brown that they've alway been, to a more hazel color (they are pretty much green now with a blob of dark brown still in the center). The color change is most noticeable in close up pictures taken with the flash on, however if I am just looking in the bathroom mirror or something it is also noticeable. I am not sure exactly when this started happening but I am looking at one of my senior pictures right now (4 years ago) and my eyes were definitely a uniform dark brown color. Both eyes are affected about the same amount. I have read that changes in eye color can be a sign of serious diseases, what these diseases are I do not know. Is this something I need to be very worried about or is it more something I should casually mention to the doctor the next time I am there, which probably won't be for awhile? And also if it makes a difference, I am very light skinned, and red-haired, so it would not be that unusual if I have the genes somewhere for light eyes, but it's the relatively recent change that has me concerned.
