Is it possible to Change Eyes Color with Honey?

Can you change your eye color with honey? Changing eye color with honey is a temporary way to lighten eyes color with just a few shades naturally.

Individuals who want to lighten their eyes put honey in water. The honey makes the water less viscous. We recommend using diluted honey as eye drops.

How do I change my eye color with honey?

Honey contains a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidating agent that has the power to lighten colors. However, when honey is used on the eyes, it bleaches the iris and changes the color. Thus, honey alters the eye's color.

Therefore it's useful as far as people who have dark eyes need lightening to make them shine. In addition, honey has many medical benefits. For example, honey is good for fighting fungal infections and can also help with injuries.

Processed or raw honey?

Raw beech honeydew honey has some benefits as bees produce it. Honeydew honey is collected from beehives during July and August. It has a dark green color, darkens more as time goes by, and contains a higher amount of nutrients.

Processed honey is lighter with a darker yellow color. This type of honey does not contain any nutrients. Thus, it is not so healthy for people to consume.

Eye drops made of honey are the safest way to lighten eye color without side effects or health issues caused by bleaching agents.

Bleaching agents don't have any good impact on eyesight and eye health.

Anyway, you have to store honey in a cool dark place. It shouldn't freeze.

It would be best to remember that eye infections spread very easily during the summer and spring seasons. Thus, you shouldn't change your eye color with honey unless it is necessary.

What can I do if my honey has gone bad?

Honey may go off in time depending on the storage conditions and if not processed properly. The honey is still edible, but it's not healthy.

If you notice any signs of spoilage such as crystallization, formation of sugar lumps, and mold in the bottom, we suggest that you don't use the honey anymore.

Special Note: Honey may change color when stored for long or at high temperatures during transport and storage.

Benefits of honey treatments on eyes

It is beneficial for dry eyes

A new study has shown that using artificial tears with manuka honey and eye gel can help dry eye relief. In addition, the study showed that it helps you feel better if you have chronic dry eye syndrome.

Dry eye happens when your tear glands do not produce enough tears to lubricate your eyes. Artificial tears can help, but there is no cure for this problem.

You can use honey to treat Blepharitis.

You can change a person's eye color for different situations. They include iris implant procedures and laser treatments.

Laser treatment

Stroma Medical Cooperation, a California startup, invented a laser system to help you find out your eye color. It will uncover the clear blue eyes underneath the iris.

• The procedure requires applying low-energy lasers on the pigmented eye to disrupt the brown pigment in the iris.
• A specific laser frequency passes through a clear eye cornea then is selectively absorbed by the dark pigment.
• After this process, lights go into the eye, and only the quickest wavelengths are reflected. This makes the eyes look blue.

However, a laser's safe and effective application on eye color modification is not guaranteed, and it is a relatively new practice.

This has been performed on some people with albinism who have ashen blue eyes, which can appear pink due to a lack of pigment in the iris.

What about Heterochromia? Heterochromia is a problem in which the eye has two different colors caused by injury or trauma to the eye. Melanin, the pigment that determines your eye colors, doesn't change unless you're very young.
