Eye color change

by cswift81, Jun 12, 2009 02:15AM
I am looking for information on medications that may change the color of the iris. I was born with green eyes, and last month I noticed that the center of my iris in both eyes, is starting to get little bits of golden brown. This is definitely a new thing! My eyes have always been green. I have been taking antidepressants for almost 5 years now, and have been on Wellbutrin XL for over 2yrs now. I am wondering if this medication could have caused this change. I have found postings from people stating that their eyes turned green, or more green, but I'm having the opposite problem! I would love it if my eyes turned more green! I take a few other medications regularly for GERD and insomnia.
I have been taking nexium daily for years, and lunesta almost daily a year and half. I would appreciate any information regarding iris color change with any of these meds (or these types of meds).
Thanks!

Some glaucoma drops may darken the irides.  I do not know of any other medications that cause eye color change.
