eye color change carly fraser raw vegan

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.

BEFORE Raw Vegan – around 2007

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.

AFTER Raw Vegan – late 2015

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.

    Hi, i hope i get a reply from you. So, here’s the thing: my eyes are kind of brown surrounded with green colour but you can’t see the green until you get closer or under extreme lighting and i have always wanted them to turn completely green just because my father has green kind of blue’ish eyes, and since you said only brown and blue are true colours i would like to know if i turn into a healthy life style will my eyes turn completely green or completely brown?

      Hi Sabrina. I am not totally sure – I would just focus on getting healthy instead of trying to change eye colour. Maybe inquire with an iridologist.

    I don't think iridology is actually a reliable science–there's no reason bad health in other areas of the body should show up specifically in the iris: it'd require a complete overhaul in the way the body is wired (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Iridology). The yellow color you mention as being indicative of "toxicity" is just a normal genetic variation called central heterochromia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum#Central_heterochromia): lots of people have it, and it doesn't mean they're unhealthy or change when they switch lifestyles.

    If your eyes changed from being a less saturated color to being a more saturated version of that same color (which is what it looks like from the photos), it could have had something to do with the collagen levels in your eye. Blue-eyed people have no collagen, so their eye is subject to something like the Tyndall effect (what makes the sky blue): it scatters only lower-frequency (blue) light. Grey-eyed people have a layer of collagen that scatters the light more uniformly, so it's not any particular color but only grey. (Neither have any melanin to create the darker colors, green/brown/orange/etc). Here's a simple breakdown of how it works: https://medium.com/@ptvan/structural-eye-color-is-amazing-24f47723bf9a#.acjiskivi.

    Our eyes can also change color somewhat as we age, or depending on the colors that surround us. Maybe it's not your eyes that changed color, but your skin (a healthy diet WOULD make your skin improve). Or if you took one set of pictures in the winter and another in summer (surrounding light affects the appearance of our eyes, both by illuminating them differently and by causing the pupils to constrict, which often shows more color). It could even be your clothes (what we wear DEFINITELY affects how our body colors appear). Or even your camera!

    So, it could be that your eyes got brighter because their collagen levels were somehow lowered…or it could be that you got a better camera/clothes/skin/lighting…or it COULD have had something to do with your diet. But it could also have been a complete coincidence. If you don't know, it doesn't make sense to assume eating raw vegan will brighten your eyes. All you know is that they happened at about the same time, not that one was the cause of the other.

      Thanks for your comment! All really good things to take into account. I appreciate your response, and input. I still think iridology is interesting, and my eyes still remain much more blue and grey than they were before I switched to a high-raw plant based diet. An iridologist (not appointment – met them at a farmers market) also looked into my eyes and told me a few things about my health that I have been struggling with (such as lower thyroid since going off birth control pills), when they knew nothing about me to begin with. I think the eyes do reflect our health, just as our skin does, and our hair. Nonetheless, I still think the things you bring up should always be factored into account when talking about this subject. Thanks!

      Iridology *is* actually a science and was developed by a medical doctor. I recommend you do a bit of research before discounting a credible science. No offense meant I simply do not appreciate the way in which you discount a science, which is highly useful and helps a great deal of people diagnose health conditions in their bodies, who would otherwise be at the mercy of harmful tests which rely on harmful levels of radiation and/or toxic chemicals. I know first-hand from my own experience and that of friends and family that eyes *do* change color (my husbands changed from brown/green to blue!) and that it has *nothing* to do with lighting, skin color or the clothes he wears (the last bit i found so ridiculous you had me laughing).

    Does one have to be a raw vegan to enjoy the benefits? I am a vegan but I do consume some potatoes and beans but majority of my diet is raw and high in eye changing foods like kale, spinach, onions, and chamamile tea.

      Clearing out your diet will in general help your eyes present much more bright and vibrant. Eat clean, and steer clear of processed foods. I do attribute lots of water fasting, juice fasting, and eating plenty of raw foods to helping my eyes get to the point where they are today.

      If you have brown or blue eyes, your eyes don't do much changing. Green eyes are more likely to transfer to more blue on a raw/detox diet.

    My eyes are brown and are getting clearer, brighter, sharper and now even noticing them get lighter. I'm eating a balanced diet of raw & cooked foods including meat. Most of my food however is raw veggies. I've only been doing this for a little over a month.

      Also, I did a food sensitivity testing & took out all foods I'm sensitive to. Such as Wheat, dairy, sugar/fructose, and some others.

    The set of eyes in this story belong to Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram. Even some of the words in the article are identical to her video ("When you think about the toxins and things that you are consuming daily, you can actually see it in your body through your eyes.") But I'm betting the comments are 'reviewed for approval'. Why not promote honesty and give credit to the rightful owner? This is wrong. There's room for everyone on the internet. From 2013, the original author, Kristina: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSPU4fCfyzc

      Actually, these are my eyes, and not Kristina's eyes. But thanks for assuming.

      Me and Kristina (as with many other raw vegans) have had a similar experience with our eyes. Doesn't mean that the photos I used are her eyes. I have the originals on my computer if you need to see them – I could also do a side-by-side comparison to show you that these are indeed NOT Kristina's eyes and in fact, my own.

      Why would I give credit to Kristina when I am explaining my own experience? Everyone is free on the internet to share their own experience. Me and Kristina have totally different shaped eyes, and our colours are also MUCH different (she went from brown to blue/green, whereas I went from hazel to blue/green).

      How about you check your own facts before spewing misinformation like this?
