After cataract surgery my eyes were noticeably deep blue rather than bright green as they had been since I was about 6 months old.

The surgery simply removed the pigment on the front of the lens.

They are returning to green although the formerly "black ring" is at present only a "brown ring".

I'd always thought it odd to see someone with one green eye and one blue eye. Now I know the secret.

Neither of my parents has green eyes. One has bright blue and the other brown. My kids have light hazel with a black ring ~ the ring didn't form until they were 9 or 10 years of age.

My eyes change color occasionally. Explain that one! No; I don't wear contact lenses.
