Do the eyes of geriatric patients turn back to blue shortly before death?

I have recently noted this occurance in three elderly individuals. In one case,dark brown-eyes started to lighten and turned blue a few months before the individual's death. These people did not have cateracts. Is there any truth to this? Are most of us born with blue eyes that change color in older babies, only to revert back to blue upon death?

I was born with extremely dark brown eyes with a very slight blue edge, you would have to look very closely to see it. My son's eye color is like this and my father's eyes were the same way. As he got older the blue outer ring increased and when he passed his eyes were almost completely blue, it wasnt a deep blue but a very light blue. The change in color wasnt sudden though it was a gradual change. He passed in his early fifties. It may be just hereditary I suppose the older I get the more the blue outer edge of my eyes will increase and by the time Im fifty the color of my iris will be the same grey blue color as my dad's. What you say is interesting though, I remember thinking his eyes had almost changed completely about 6 months before he died. Hope this helps.

never heard of such a thing
