People have been asking me to share my story on how my eyes changed colour after eating raw vegan for nearly 6 years.
Before I went raw, my eyes were a dark green hue with some brown specks and a freckle in one eye. Now, they’re a very light grey-blue with green hints and a brown ring surrounding my iris. Why did this happen? I was interested to find out, so I dug a little deeper…
Eye Color Change
I wanted to start off by saying that this probably sounds weird to a majority of the people reading this article. Just because my eyes changed colour doesn’t mean I didn’t love my eye colour before hand. This article isn’t bashing different eye colours, but simply explaining the transition of colour my eyes have taken since adopting a raw plant-based lifestyle.
The picture below is a photo of my eyes before I went raw vegan – around 2007. You can see how they are much more green with more brown surrounding the pupil.

The photo below you can notice that the iris has much more blue tones. The photo was not manipulated, so it might have just been a very blue sky that day, or more bright, so it accentuated the hues.

Since the two images definitely have different lighting, I took an updated photo of my eyes present, compared to the photo above.
So here is a photo of my eyes present (March 2020) compared to that photo I took back in 2007.

So why did my eyes change colour?
The eyes are not only a window to your soul, they are also a window to what’s going on inside. The colour, clearness and clarity of our eyes is a direct reflection of how clear (and clean) our body is on the inside.
Dr. Morse (N.D., D.Sc., M.H.), a detoxification specialist, mega-healer (he has an 85% healing rate of success and has treated over 250,000 patients), and iridologist has made a series of videos on how raw diets can actually change the colour of your eyes.
Iridology is based on the scientific study of the iris (the coloured part of the eye). Like markings on a map, the iris reveals physiological conditions, health risks, challenges and strengths of various organs. For example, if you look at the chart below, you see that the top quadrant of each eye is related to brain health (specifically the cerebrum and cerebellum), and the innermost circle of the eye is related to digestion (the stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum).

A yellowish colour around your pupil is the main indicator of how toxic your body is, so less yellow means lower toxicity, and more yellow means higher.
If you think about all of the toxins we consume on a day-to-day basis, and how our eyes reflect this toxic build-up, then eye-colour change (after healthy eating) doesn’t come to much of a surprise. When I was younger and into my teen years I ate a lot of chips, candy, sweets, pizza, and a hoard of other junk food. My mom always made home-cooked meals, but they were high in fat and didn’t contain the level of health my body required. I had major digestive issues, and became over weight at the age of 8 and well into the age of 15.
Our health begins in the colon, and when you are consuming foods that increase the toxic load in the body, you get “bunged up” to put it bluntly. When things are not moving efficiently and we become constipated, toxins build up in the colon due to improper elimination, and our eyes directly reflect this effect.
Raw Food Diet and Eye Color Change
When I switched to a raw, plant-based diet, my digestion improved and irritable bowel syndrome symptoms went away completely. Adding in more fibre to flush out excess toxic waste, and learning to properly combine foods greatly helped improve the function of my GI tract. As I healed my body with raw foods, my eyes went from a murky greenish brown colour to a much brighter blue-green hue. The whites of my eyes also significantly cleared up, which is another major tell-tale sign of health.
Not only the colour changed, but different fibres of my iris have changed, and the freckle in my eye has completely disappeared. So I’d also like to make note that someone who is severely overweight (or underweight) and has blue eyes doesn’t mean that they are necessarily healthy. It’s not just about the colour, but the way the fibres are shaped. Some areas of an eye may contain a yellowish coating which can indicate sulphuric acid levels in the body and the level of acidity in the organs and glands. For some people, this yellow colour can cover the entire iris, which will make an eye appear brown or hazel, when the true colour underneath is green or blue.
The take home story of this article is that the cleaner you become, the clearer your eyes become, and the better you will feel. I still find it incredible that my eyes have actually changed colour, but really, it should come to no surprise. Your eyes are a direct reflection of your health, and after 6 years of being raw I can say that I have reached a level I never thought possible.
Not only are my eyes happier, but I am happier too! My eyes will probably continue on changing (as they continually get more blue), but until then, I will just trust in the process and allow my body to continue detoxing out the old and blessing me with the new.








Love the post! And i often cosider a raw diet… Do you know if the white around the pupil can mean anything else? I have it, my boyfriend calls me 'sunflower eyes' because it looks like petals of a sunflower around my pupil… I javelin blue eyes and I consider myself to be very healthy, I drink nothing but water and green tea, am mostly vegetarian and eat so many fruits and veggies! Would love to know what you think about this 🙂
The white around the pupil should be totally white – I have never seen anyone with a sunflower or flower shape around their pupil, that is very interesting! Maybe considering seeing an iridologist?
Whose eyes are those in that photo? Are they yours? Thanks
Yup, they are mine!
Hi everyone…omg i love this dr. robert morse….what he says is really so true. I am a vegan too ,for almost 5 years now and during that time my husband had to eat what i was cooking.(In the beginning he was not really amused about that new way of eating because he really loved to eat meat and cheese) My blue eyes became more shiny during the last years, but the color of my husbands`eyes were completely changing. Although we are not RAW vegan, the color now is almost blue, before they were dark brown. The same happened with my cats, i also chose vegan food for them, and the color of their eyes changed from dark to very shiny blue-green. This is really true!!! Sorry for my bad english….lots of love with you all
Wonderful!
you should make a blood test to the cats just to make sure everything is fine, since cats are carnivores unlike humans. I'm not saying the can't lead a plant-based life, but you should check if everything is alright just in case.
Hello i am vegan but I would like to be in good health but I don't know what I have to do what I eat !! What supplement!! How to do thing!?? Can we meet dr morse ! Does he do consultation thru skype ?? I live in Montreal ?? Help
You don't need supplements, just eat a high raw fruit-based diet with plenty of leafy greens and veggies and all the fruits you care for.
hi,, im iranian girl,, and i have brown eye,, i love green eye so much,, if i eat fruit and raw vegan.. its change? sry for my bad englsih,, i love your eye <3
Hello,
No, they will not turn that colour. Green/hazel is not a true colour, the true colours are brown and blue. So you will only get more clarity in your brown eyes and they will become more sharp and clear. Eating plant based will make your eyes much more healthy. Be proud of your brown eyes! Brown is a beautiful colour, I love brown eyes 🙂
