    Yes, corneal inflammation will have an effect on the pigments in the iris which may lead to the change in eye color. As we know, the color of eyes is determined by genetic genes which will not change easily. It is determined by the iris too. Thus, when there is any change in your iris, your color of eyes will be changed too.
