Is this possible? When I was a child my eyes were mostly dk brown with a tiny tiny bit of green around the edges. Now I am 30 and my eyes are almost all green with only a tiny tiny bit of brown now on the inner part. One if more green than the other. Do eyes change color with age?

Eyes don't change colors from wearing different shirts/make-up, like one person suggested. It's all about light reflections.
Just like hair color changing in different lights, so do your eyes. They're not REALLY physically changing colors, though.
Eye color CAN however, get darker, or lighter with age, or because of an eye disease.
For eye color to change, there has to be a change in the pigment... and that can't happen RIGHT when you put a certain colored shirt on, or even overnight. That takes a lot of time.
Your eye color is determined by genes. But more so, how much pigment you have in the front of your iris. So, if there is a lot of pigment, then you have dark eyes, like brown, if there's a little bit of pigment, you have blue. Green is in the middle of the two.

Color of eyes(iris) does not change.
