Does Honey Change Eye Color?

Can you change your eye color with honey? Does honey really change your eye color? Honey is just one of the ways of naturally changing the color of your eyes. Most people doubt whether this really works but using the right procedure and ingredients has proven to work for some people. Pure honey and water are best recommended since putting anything unpurified in eyes can cause you lots of problems.

According to sources such as WikiHow on how to lighten eye color naturally, it is highly discouraged to use honey to change eye color. The claims that using honey drops in each eye to lighten them is dangerous since it contains bacteria. Introducing bacteria found in natural honey can easily cause eye infections and probably irritation.

To be safe when trying to change eye color at home with honey, simply avoid putting honey eye drops in your eyes, even if you want to try to use much diluted honey.

In a contradicting tone, some forum comments on websites such as Bodybuilding.com (see sources at the end) claim that raw honey has been used as an antibacterial for a long time and is safe for putting in the eyes. It is important to note that warnings on the use of honey to brighten eye color are quite resounding and should not be ignored.

How often should you apply honey drops to change natural eye color? How long does it take for honey to change your eye color? These are some of the questions I have been seeing on the use of natural honey. Feel free to comment below if you have seen this method being used to give good results.

How Does Honey Lighten Eye Color?

Honey is known to have natural bleaching properties. It is commonly used as a household ingredient for lightening skin and dark spots. Other uses include bleaching hair and also being used as a home remedy for allergies.

But how does honey change eye color? It is its bleaching ability that makes some people who want to change eye color to speculate using honey eye drops to lighten dark brown eyes and make them lighter. Changing your eye color with honey might not give significant results since some of the claims online showing that it works are not supported by any results or photos that prove it really works.

Does Honey Change Your Eye Color Permanently?

It is important to know that there is no way you can permanently alter your eye color naturally.  Ways that promise permanent change risk damage and even loss of eyesight which is never encouraged. So, does honey change your eye color permanently? No, it doesn’t. Eye color change with honey is a temporary method to slightly lighten your eye color a few shades lighter.

Honey and Water to Lighten Eyes

Those who have used honey to lighten their eyes recommend adding in lukewarm water to make it less sticky. Using honey and water to lighten eyes also makes it safer and less irritating. It is recommended that you put two to three drops of pure honey water into each eye every morning and evening. Do this daily for at least two weeks for better results.

Here is how to change eye color with honey water

  1. Use raw Manuka honey to lighten eyes if possible – most people say it works best. [easyazon_link identifier=”B015P0U3JM” locale=”US” tag=”skincareorg18-20″]This one is UMF 20+[/easyazon_link] which is the highest level of antibacterial activity. It’s not cheap but will last a long time. [easyazon_link identifier=”B015P1HPDS” locale=”US” tag=”skincareorg18-20″]UMF+10 or 15[/easyazon_link] would be okay. Just don’t use any that isn’t UMF+ certified.
  2. Warm bottled clean water or distilled works better than cold water
  3. Mix honey and distilled water in the ratio of 1:5 (1 drop of honey for 5 drops of water)
  4. Place the mixture in a clean dropper bottle
  5. Use a clean dropper to carefully place 2-3 drops in each eye
  6. Store the remaining contents in a cool dark place

Other than for making eye lightening drops, honey is also a natural antibacterial that has been used to clean the eye and clear of common eye infections such as pink eye. There are several studies on try and validate the use of 20% honey solution in patients with dry eye syndrome.

Honey Drops to Lighten Eyes

Is it safe to use honey drops to lighten eyes? It is no surprise how many people have considered changing the color of their eyes using honey but still hold back due to uncertainty about its safety. According to Dr. Hamid Sajjadi, an experienced ophthalmologist says that if honey is correctly mixed with water in the correct ratio of 1:5, it is not harmful. But he continues to say that he only recommends this remedy for dry eyes and not to brighten or lighten the color of eyes which he insists is a false claim.

Doctors stand by the fact that there is nothing like eye drops that change color. While benefits of putting honey in eyes are not scientifically backed, some of these doctors say that using honey as an eye wash can clear cloudy eyes and get rid of infection.

Change Eye Color with Honey Results

While honey has been used for quite a while to change the color of eyes from darker colors to more subtle hues the only prove there is to this is the numerous number of before and after photos that people have put up online. Positive reviews recommend that honey to lighten eye color should be used on a frequent basis.

Possible Side Effects of Using Honey to Change Your Eye Color

The reasons why it is highly discouraged to put honey in your eyes can be attributed to the possible dangers and risks you are likely to face. It has been found that the honey sold in most retail stores is not pure honey at all. It is something else that is artificially made.

  • The pH of the human eye is around 7.5 according to Clear Lenses. On the other hand, the pH of honey is around 3.9 according to Wikipedia. That means that the acidic nature of honey can cause burning in the eyes if you put raw honey in your eyes to try to change eye color naturally.
  • DO NOT put raw honey in your eyes.
  • Although some people may dilute honey with water to make it less acidic, without the right level of accuracy in measuring the pH can still cause your eyes to sting or become irritated when you put dilute honey water drops in them.

If the honey you are trying to put in your eye is contaminated, you are in for serious trouble in terms of an eye infection or irritation. Before you try to use honey to change eye color naturally, read below to understand how eye color develops.

Is it Really Possible to Change Eye Color?

Eye color is a genetic trait that is determined by the pigmentation in the part of the eye called the iris. Genetic makeup will determine if you will have blue, green, brown, grey or hazel eyes. Dark brown eyes are the type of eye color that most people try to lighten more often than not. According to a research done by All About Vision, brown eye color is among the least attractive eyes, pointing to the reason why some people try to lighten them.

It is almost impossible to change the original pigment in the iris that determines your eye color because it is genetically determined. However, some procedures such as the stroma procedure and laser treatment have been developed to help those who want to turn brown eyes blue, or to the most attractive green eye color. Whether honey as the method to change eye color without surgery is effective or not has not been scientifically determined.

When I look closely at my iris now in the bathroom mirror I can even see olive/hazel tones around the edge!! My eyes have NEVER been this color my entire life, so this is miraculous. From reading online it takes upwards of 3 months to see significant results. Right now I’m using raw orange blossom honey about 1:5 (honey to water).

    I notice my eye color change with the seasons, in winter they are a dark cold brown, in autumn they are just plain brown, in spring they are light brown with green lines on the out side and then there’s summer which is my favorite because my eyes then turn hazel, but what i diss like about my eyes is that i hate having dark brown colored eyes and I’d love to change this but doing it the natural way, seriously if any body knows like a cure or a way to change dark brown colored eyes to a lighter brown or even hazel perminently but naturally, help us brown eyed people out PLEASE! ill really appreciate it!.
    but any ways last night i stumbled across some videos on you-tube about how to change the color of your eyes naturally (permanent), i watched a good 10 vids & read other peoples comments trying to see if this is actually going to work so i don’t waste none of my time doing something so out of it (lol), i saw that this method (using honey and water) had lighten some peoples eyes from being dark brown to a light brown/hazel and it kind of convinced me believing that this actually might be true so yeah Im going to go home after i finish high school and see if this method is true, Im going to record and hope to see progress in the next few days i hope, and ill see for my self if this method is true or not, so yeah wish me luck, and to those who read this till the end i appreciate you for doing so god bless you and have a good day what ever your doing be safe x

  31. I did this for a little over two years twice a day andelivery my eyes went from almost back to medium brown. I haven’t done it in awhile so can see my eyes are getting darker. It only works after years and the results won’t last if u stopped as melanin constantly builds in your eyes but the honey slows that process. Also your eyes will be very sensitive to the sun because they don’t hAve as much melanin. It’s just not worth the burning and wrinkles you’ll get under your eyes from tearing up so much because of the honey or being outside in daylight.

  32. if i am going to drop the honey water in my eyes do i still need a luke warm honey water or its just a procedure on how you combine water and honey then wait for the neutral temperature and drop it in your eyes

  33. Hello All , i have read alll your comments so far , i am not sure if it changes the color.

    But rather i have other theories from Aged people , that with regular uses of honey can decrease the number of your specs . I am not sure of it , can anybody confirms me on this.

  34. I did everything right but the effect was so painful!!couldn’t try it again de 2nd tym! Guess it works differently for different pple!

  35. It really works my friend is from brasil he got black hair and dark Brown eyes he puts honey with water in his eyes for about 6 months (irregular) and now he has light brown eyes with a green rim. The Honey he used is called jarrah Honey. I’m also trying to light my eyes it’s my First Week and i can say my dark brown eyes lighten up a little. I Hope they will get green or hazel soon. Stay tuned 🙂

  36. Hi guys Ryan here I have been using subliminal for at least two months it did lighten my eyes then I got lots of head problems like dandruf . Itchy scalp and then rash skin irritation so I stoped. Now I’m using organic honey but I warm in microwave for fifteen second and wait till warm room temperature.

  39. I’ll try it for a couple of days just to see if my eyes would show any irritation of some sort. If not, then I’ll continue using it.

  40. I’m happy with my eye colour but I can assure you that it doesn’t hurt your eyes in any way… even in ancient Egypt and India doctors used honey and water to treat glaucoma and other eye diseases… So yeah you guys can go ahead and give it a try.. Even if it fails to change your eye colour it’ll definitely improve your eye sights

  41. who among you are using ‘sue bee raw honey??ive brought it from the store coz i saw the word RAW in the label..but it failed some test of being pure..sadly,i make eye drops out of it.im using it for about 2 weeks.the result surprise me.

  43. i began using the honey water remedy for the past 3days n’ it’s absolutely working.I gat dark brown eyes and miraculously,i noticed a slight change round my eye balls, am hoping fa the best result.

  44. Hey People. Hi… As stated in the article, using natural raw honey poses a risk or eye irritation and infection. This is due to the bacteria that may be present in the honey. Dilute honey with water before using it to lighten your eyes.

    It is also important to note that honey does not change your eye color permanently. It will also not change your eye color from black to green. Honey will only help to lighten your eye color a few shades lighter after using pure honey water several times.

  45. Your water should be distilled and slightly warm. If you heat yours and you feel it is too warm for your eyes, allow it some time to cool off.

  46. I’ve been trying it out on one eye. It actually works! The doctors usually will say I have remarkable eyes now hahaha! Well it does look pretty nice on one eye. Also going on a raw diet can also change your eyes to a beautiful green.

  47. Wanna check if the honey is pure or not? Put a drop of honey on a dry tissue paper. If the other side of the tissue gets wet, it’s not pure. If not or the other side of the tissue is dry, it’s pure.

  48. I Just Started Today So, I’m Not Going To Rush I’m Just Going To Give It About Like 5 days or just 1 whole week to see the results☺????

  56. I just started this less that a week ago, and am seeing some results already. I have noticed that it has increased my ability to tear. It also has given my eyes the sensation you feel when a sore is healing as well. Nothing uncomfortable but definitely a good thing. Looking more to heal the years of damage from free radicals than eye color change. Am also using 100% hexane free organic Castor oil at night as well to try and naturally assist in correcting age related macular degeneration. So far so good.

  57. I just started mine today, hope it works out well. Please someone said something about “Change in the Specs of the Eye, due to this honey use”….. Please i need someone to expatiate on that issue.. Does it mean that the Person will have blury vision or wah?

The honey u should use is the pure honey that come out from bees directly not the honey u buy from store because they add chemicals to it and after using the method make sure u follow instructions good and u ll notice that your eyes will turn to hasal at least that how i did it and pretty sure it will work

  60. I have one light green eye and one light blue eye. I’m kind of made all the time at school for it, how do I change it, does anybody know?

  61. I tried this with Manuka honey from Costco, and turned my dark hazel eyes green after 2 weeks!

  62. Jonah, if i had eyes like you, id die!!! two different colored eyes are so cute!!❤❤

  63. Seems interesting.
    I have set of eye colour supposably, in fact, my eyes are supposably rare according to my doctor. My eyes like to change colours often, from green, hazel, brown, honey & light yellow. When I was young a had blue eyes (like a lot of children) but mine where almost neon blue.

    I’ve been through alot of eye colours, but there wasn’t much to it.
    What I’m trying to say is be yourself, don’t try and bleach you eyes because everybody reacts differently.

  64. I’m gonna try.scared a little bit.but will definitely try.maybe dabur or patanjali honey will work.in India they are the most trusted brands.

  65. Hello!

    I was dealing with the eye-lightening for about 5 months ago and I have to tell You, that this thing with honey really works!
    Namely, I used the cooked water – (from the tap) and the home-made raw flower honey.
    In the boiling water – ( of 1,5 dcl ) I put 2 to 3 tablespoons of flower honey and I let the water boil.
    After boiling, I removed all the “foam” from the top of the mixture and I mixed it for several times and I poured it into a small sterile dropper.
    When the mixture cooled down, I began to use it regularly in the morning and evening – ( 3 drops each eye ), every day.
    I noticed quite the first results after one week of use.
    My natural eye color is dark green-brown – (dark hazelnut actually ) and the edges of the iris turned into a dark gray, and the rest of the iris lighten up for a little – ( for one or two shades ). ?
    During and after use, I did not have any side effects,even my eye-sight improved!
    So if You’ll be careful and cautious with the use of drops – ( hygiene ), nothing will go wrong!
    My advice for those who have a very dark-brown – ( almost black ) eyes is, that You’ll shoud be a little more patient and persistent with lighening – and Your eye color/shade will change with time …
