"A 2002 study found that the prevalence of blue eye color among the white population in the United States to be 33.8% for those born from 1936 through 1951 compared with 57.4 percent for those born from 1899 through 1905.[14] As of 2006, one out of every six people, or 16.6% of the total population, and 22.3% of whites, has blue eyes. Blue eyes are continuing to become less common among American children.[39]"
So:
At that point it's going to be all up to laser therapy (Eg. New Eyes) or genetic engineering to recreate those beautiful blues.
I'm pretty sure I'll get New Eyes down the line. Blue eyes are awesome. Only problem with New Eyes is if you're starting with black eyes you end up with dark blue eyes, not those light blue eyes that are so striking. But still better than nothing. I might wait a few years and see if the tech improves.
