The yellowing of eyes as one ages is due to the conjunctival tissue thickening. This is normal as one ages and is believed to be caused by exposure to sunlight, which is more common in those who are more exposed to the outside.

Your dark brown eyes are fading is this because you are aging you are 49?

Yes, your eyes could become lighter as you age, but generally just a slight difference. I to have dark brown eyes, but have gold flecks in them as I've ages, but then ended up with cataracts and once I had the surgery my eyes are back to a bit of lighter shade of dark brown and I still have those gold flecks there. Yearly you should have an eye exam to be sure you aren't having the start of some eye disease or, forming cataracts that can cause a 'clouding' of the eye making them almost opaque in appearance. Please see your eye specialist.

What does the age of majority mean?

The age of majority means the age at which you are considered an adult for most things. In most countries this is 18, but it does vary. In England and Wales you can get a full time job, join the Army, consent to sex and leave home at 16. Drive and go to prison at 17. Vote, marry without consent, buy land, obtain credit and buy alcohol and tobacco products at 18. So 18 is the age of majority in England and Wales.
