Reducing melanin!
These approaches may gradually reduce melanin in the iris over time, leading to a lighter eye colour:
Green Tea - Polyphenols in green tea may help regulate melanin production and reduce oxidation in the eye over time
MSH Inhibitors (Like Afamelanotide Blockers) - modulates melanin production
Enhancing Light Reflection
High-Dose Astaxanthin or Lutein Supplements – These carotenoids enhance the clarity of the eye’s natural pigments, creating a brighter, more reflective iris.
Scleral Whitening Drops (Tetrahydrozoline or N-Acetylcysteine Drops) – Clearing up redness in the sclera (whites of the eyes) can make the iris appear lighter in contrast.
pH-Adjusting Eye Drops (Mild Boric Acid Solution) – Some anecdotal reports suggest that pH balance in the eye can affect the appearance of iris clarity.
Hormonal & Nutritional Adjustments
Copper & Zinc Balance – Excess copper can increase melanin production, while zinc may help regulate it. Reducing copper-rich foods (like shellfish, nuts, and chocolate) while ensuring proper zinc intake (pumpkin seeds, meat, supplements) may subtly influence pigmentation.
Tyrosinase Inhibitors (Like Kojic Acid or Arbutin in Eye-Safe Formulas) – Inhibiting melanin synthesis in skin works similarly for eyes, though topical applications would be experimental.
Vitamin C Megadosing – High doses of vitamin C (used in skin lightening) have been speculated to reduce melanin levels systemically, potentially affecting eye colour over time.
