Dark to light eye colour?

[AsGoodAsItGets]

Anyone came across why lighter eye colours darken with passing years? Any possible explanation? Living in tropics or hotter regions cause darkening? Any methods to reverse them? Thanks

Eye color often changes during the first year or even longer. Babies aren't born with all the melanin they are destined to have. The maturation process continues post-utero. Eye color isn't set until 2 years of age. Beyond those years it usually stays the same but it could change because of a variety of reasons including some health related issues.

The most probable one, however, is because of sun exposure. Melanin production can be activated through solar exposure, meaning that a prolonged time exposure to the sun could make your eyes darker.
