    Kids are always born with blue eyes yes. Some stay blue, whereas others change some time later. The age at which eyes will change colour (if they are going to change) varies.
    Yes I know that.
    Except that my eyes changed from blue to brown then to hazel to green..

    *shrugs* I guess maybe they just took a while to settle on the colour they're now going to remain at

    Ah right, there was a study a few years ago that showed that 10-15% of twins had eye colour changes past the age of six, it applied to single children as well.

    Check your family history.

    It sounds like you might have central heterochromia like me. This means that you have two to four different colours in your eyes in rings from your pupils. This may make it seem as though your eye colour is constantly changing. When I was younger no one could tell me exactly what my eye colour is but now i would say predominantly green.
    Hope that is of some help

    Yes me too. I didn't mind it changing colour, but I was quite curious as to why it did so :]

    because it is way cooler than having the same bog standard colour for the rest of your life... the same reason why people wear coloured contacts which are different to their natural eye colour ...

    wish i had blue eyes!

    I think most peoples eye colours change throughout their life, but not by much, I think most people don;t notice it. Hair and skin colour change aswell. Your blue to brown phase does seem a little excessive.

    My dad has brown eyes. My mum has blue eyes. I now have green eyes.
    Your eye's changed colour but not as drastically as mine did.
    My mum has hazel eyes and my dad has grey eyes. So I have a combination of both of those. (I have yellow flicks in my eyes)

    Maybe when you were a kid you suffered from a trauma and it messed up your eye colour? Or maybe if you had a grey or hazel eyed parent, your change of eye colour might not have been as dramatic, but still would've changed.

    Yes very excessive.

    My eye colour has changed drastically, however skin and hair hasn't.

    Ah, cool xD
    No, I never suffered from any trauma, my life was completely normal.
    The weird thing is that my eye colour changed two times, when I was 6 AND 9

    I've got sectoral heterochromia, my eyes are predominantly blue with a little patch of brown in my left one.

    I have heard of this happening before. There have been similar cases where people's hair colour and texture has changed or skin colour due to hormonal changes. The change from brown to green eyes is not uncommon either, but it usually takes about forty years!
