Ok, bare with me. This is going to sound way out there, and it may be nothing at all.....however!!! Ill ask it anyway.

I had been noting for a while that Noahs Iris appears rather a pale pale blue and appeared to be lighter than when he was younger. Well finally got my butt into gear tonight and tracked back through old baby and toddler pics, then compared to a heap of now (recent) pics, so I could establish something to "compare". i.e. not just that it was lighting etc.

His eyes were (still bright and bold) but a much darker blue when he was little, they were a normal blue but quite stunning. NOW they are such a pale blue he isnt far from an albino blue.

I know eyes can change with age, but Ive never heard of them changing from solid blue to albino blue?

Any ideas where I can see if this is related to a nutritional deficiency? Im sure all his issues are going to come back to a nutritional problem, his eyes, his skin, and his height weight issue......I want to find it out before it does any more damage to his body though!

Suggestions on good sites? or do you know about nutrition and eye colour?


Heres a pic: you can see his skin colour has changed too. ALL his baby photos and toddler photos are the same, blue lovely eyes but a lot darker than now and his skin WAS a deeper colour, now he is pasty white and pale as can be blue eyes.

top one is toddler

bottom is now

and YES that is the same child! lol I had to look twice to make sure!

I don't know, but have you seen an iridologist? Might be worth a try and see if they have any suggestions / can read what is going on. I got my DD done really young (around 3) but her eyes are so dark brown, with really long lashes and it was a bit hard for them to be able to read them properly. But it was really interesting and what they said about her was pretty much spot on. And I have had it done as well, and it picked up a lot of food issues which have proven to be correct as well.

Worth a try!

My DD's eye colour has changed to a lighter blue too especially from baby to toddler and compared to her sisters eyes (who are also blue) her's are quite pale. Though she has had heaps of blood tests (amongst other things) and it only picked up that she was anaemic though is now taking iron supplements. Sorry I haven't really answered your question though it is interesting.

BTW, she had her eyes tested at the end of last year and the doctor said she had perfect vision .

My first thought years back was that he was anaemic thats why we had him tested but they said he isnt.

So thats why Im still searching years later. Im sure its something simple like he is lacking a certain vitamin or something....just that docs dotn seem to be interested to find it! I might have to try a naturopath or similar, although I would rather it was diagnosed by bloods. I dont put a lot of faith in lookign into eyes and such. I need hard evidence! lol

I will ask my father tomorrow if I remember (PM me if I dont). He is an Optom with over 30 years experience and trained in the UK where is it a Uni Course.

ok, spoke to my dad.
He has not heard or seen a problem when eyes change colour but would get them checked out by an opthamologist.

HTH

When DD was born her eyes were a gorgeous blue colour. They ahve gotten much lighter as she's gotten older. She is almost 10 months now and she has very pale blue eyes.

They're still gorgeous, but the colour has most definitely lightened significantly.

For her, it is symptomatic of her genetic condition.

Hi.

My sisters eyes changed from vivid blue to murky green, after being sick for many years as a kid. They are still green now, she is in her 30s.

My son 3 years old has ASD and ive noticed looking back at baby fotos that his eyes used to be very blue and stunning, but now are a bluey grey colour. His hair is dull too. Ive been going to a naturapath who specialises in autism and cancer, and having hair analyisis done for DS, and he has aluminium poisoning, plus other toxic metals, like mercury, arsenic etc. And he is deficient in calcium, magnesium and zinc. Going there has been the best for my DS, who is coming along in leaps and bounds now that he is getting rid of the toxic stuff. He is in Perth if you want his details just pm me. I live 3 hours from perth so do phone consults usually, so even if you were in another state i wonder if you could still "see" him and get some answers long distance?

thanks We are in perth but do our own vitamin and such therapy, I have two older ones with autism

It is normal for eye colour to change, people with blue eyes often go blue/grey or blue/green. Its not normal though for eyes to go to an almost albino colour.

I spoke to a few people to day and they said to bring it up with the gastro on the next visit and push to get it checked as it may be an underlying absorbtion issue? that isnt showing on common bloods. (we were in PMH today for Ethan, so I asked)

So Ill let you knwo if we do find out anything!

It seems plausible that some sort of problem could present with very pale eyes...if Down Syndrome can effect the colour/markings of someones eyes I can't see why other conditions wouldn't.
