Does your eye color change when you go blind?

[Puckett]

I just want to know if people with blindness have the same eye color as normal people? Or the eye color will change if people go blind?

[Mershon]

Color change does not happen to all blind people. Blind people who remain their original eye color are very common. For people born with blindness caused by corneal opacity, their eye color may be white or grey. If the blindness is caused by cornea changing, the eye color will turn to cloudy white. Blindness from cataracts can give the eyes a milky color. However, in this case, the eye color does not really change. It is the milky cloak that makes your eyes look milky. The Scarring from Retinal detachment will change eye color by depriving of color black. If the blindness is due to injuries such as burning and poking, the eye color does not change.

The answer is sometimes. If a person go blind for cataracts, his eyes may be blocked with milky fibrin which cause their eyes to turn grey. What's worse, eyeballs wither after being blind for long time, triggering discoloration in their eyes. If a person is born with blindness, his eyes may be grey, white or opaque.

The color of eyes are genetic and vary from people to people. Generally speaking, people who are born blind doesn't mean they don't have eyes balls. The eye color of someone with blindness is usually White, Grey or Pale. Most blind people have normal looking eyes and remain their original color of eyes when they go blind. Eye color does not change when a person becomes blind. The colors of eyes could only change in case there is a defect in pigmentation and sometimes after trauma when the iris becomes atrophied, which means being dead. Some iris color change is usually noticed with age and also with some medication like anti-glaucoma drugs. In addition, there may be a hazy color of grayish-blue for the eyes of blind people. It also depends on the causes that lead to their blindness, if they were not born blind.
