Easy answer.. no. Your eye color has to do with genetics not what you eat.

Someone said that genetics determines eye colour. Sure it does, but your health can alter your eye colour. I've always had dark brown eye colour. After a number of years after I started eating healthy (I never really take a close look at my eye colour to check, at least not for many years) people started mentioning that my eyes were green or hazel. Well, I took another look. Hm. Took a closer look, put a light on my eyes... green! in the light, definitely look hazel out of the bright light. My eyes had changed colour.

My eyes have always been green. I'll ask my mom if she ate "a lot of green stuff like lettuce and stuff like that".

No... the only thing that is even remotely close to that is consuming too many carrots will make your skin take on a bit of a yellowish tone.
The reason behind it is carotene, which is a reddish-yellow hydrocarbon pigment that builds up in your system over time.
However, you won't turn green from eating green stuff!

No. Your poo will be green and if you eat corn it will be green with little yellow specks in it. But your eyes will stay the same color.

I've never heard that one before. haha of course, not.
I mean it sounds like something a parent would say to their child (who would want green eyes).. just to get him/her to eat their vegetables.

That's a new one. No.
But if you eat too many carrots, your skin will take on an orangey hue.
