Will my baby have brown eyes or blue eyes?


Question Posted Friday May 8 2015, 1:48 pm

I'm 24 year-old married woman with Asian-European ethnicity. My left eye has a small portion of an orange-reddish ring due to an accident. I'm planning to undergo a LASIK eye surgery next three months so my eyes will completely turn into blue and so the tiny ring will dissapear. However, I and my husband are planning to have a baby next year, which I will already have a completely blue eyes. (sorry for my statements are vague). My husband has a greyish-blue eyes while I have a
very dark brown eyes originally. So my question is, if I would get pregnant after I would have a Lasik surgery and completely turn my eyes into blue, would my baby have a blue eyes? I know genetically that brown eyes are dominant over blue but we would have same eye colour soon. I'm confused whether my baby would have a blue eyes or brown eyes.

Your eye color is in your genes. Your genes do not change from modifications such as dying your hair, LASIK surgery, etc. It's not possible to change your genes after birth - so you would pass down the brown eyed gene to your child, and your husband would pass down the blue-eyed gene.

Perhaps you recessively have a blue eyed gene (you can pass this gene on, but it doesn't effect you) and this will increase your child's chance of having blue eyes. Do you have any blue eyed, blood relatives? You may be able to pass on their gene.

Anyways, there is no way to know for sure what eye color your baby would have, but there is a chance it will have brown eyes. Either way, eye color shouldn't really matter. All eyes are beautiful!

yup, cant change your DNA. Whatever you were born with is what youll have.

thats basically asking "if i bleach my hair blonde and its actually dark brown, will my baby have blonde hair" does that make sense??

thats merely a cosmetic change to your appearance not a change of your genes.

Statistically speaking, it's more likely that your child will have brown eyes.

LASIK surgery will not change your genetics - your eyes may look different, but your genetics will be same - genetically, you still have brown eyes. Since is what your child will inherit from you. When one parent has blue eyes, and the other has brown, it is more likely that the child will inheriet the genes for brown eyes. Blue eyes are possible, but brown eyes will still be much be more likely.
