[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard of people claiming their blood type changed. I think most are simply cases of people misremembering or not knowing in the first place but thinking they do. My own husband was told by his parents that he was O- but found out that he’s actually O+.

Your blood type doesn’t randomly change. It is genetic. It stays the same throughout your life like your eye color.[/quote]

Well your eye color definitely changes throughout life and not just from cataracts. Babies often have blueish or violet eye colors that turn hazel. And hazel eyed people’s eye colors change with their mood - if normally brownish they turn amber or green when they get mad or if normally green they turn blue when they get upset. [/quote]
They can change from a lighter color to a darker color in infants and toddlers because babies do not produce much melanin when they’re first born. That’s why a lot of babies are born with blue eyes that later turn brown (for example). In those babies, it’s not really changing though because their eyes were always going to be brown based on their genetics. Brown is always their actual eye color that their genetics coded for. Once you have your final eye color, it does not truly change (unless you have some sort of medical condition). It’s simply an optical illusion.[/quote]
This is why I’m always confused when another mom gets upset that her kid’s eyes have changed from blue to brown or green to brown. I’m Hispanic, and this is a big thing in our community. A lot want their kids and grandkids to have “colored” (blue or green) eyes. Your kid’s eyes were going to be brown no matter what. They just appeared a lighter color when they were little because their melanin production hadn’t kicked in yet. You can’t convince them of that though. 😅[/quote]
