My eyes turning a lighter color?

I was going to wash my face and noticed my eyes were a light olive green color, as from their normal dark "forest" green color. After i had washed my face i checked my eyes again and they were slightly changed back to their normal color. I was wondering what this might be?

    If the changes happened that fast, I think it may have just been a trick of the light.

    However, changing eye colours can be the result of increasing age or various eye diseases. If it wasn't an illusion, it is probably due to the fact that some eyes lighten in colour over time (some darken as well, but lightening is more common.) I don't think it's anything serious to worry about, but it you're concerned you could always ring up your doctor.

    probably just the lighting, or the angle of your face. :b i'm sure it's not a disease, hahaha

    That website says you might have a disease. You should check in with your optometrist.
