  No.
  There was a question in one of the other zones that I was reading earlier. The colour of your eyes is determined by pigments in your iris, which in turn is determined by your genes. Honey won’t affect this, and could cause your eyes to get infected. I’d not recommend it!

  I have seen that some people use lasers to get rid of the pigments of the iris, leaving you with blue eyes. It doesn’t sound very sensible to me, but more likely to work than honey!
