I have this condition.. according to my doctor is genetic. My eyes are light brown hazel..but every once in a while they become pure clear light green, usually happens every 5-6 months and they stay green for couple months. Maybe the weather ? No clue.. my grandfather was born with one eye light brown and the other one light blue..and he always had people staring non stop at him.. so I'm sure some strange mutations happened lol

 Cool question! Do you really want to know? Why ruin the magic? This is certainly the first science question I've answered on here. Only keep reading if you're really curious...
Here's a picture of the same set of blue eyes under two different lighting conditions:

Maybe you usually see your boyfriend with blue eyes but when you're both feeling mmmm "romantic" the lights just so happen to be dimmer than usual or his eyes are near certain colours that made his eyes look green.
This coupled with the inherent bias that the brain will retain anecdotal evidence that proves any latent theories we may have may have built a repertoire in your mind of instances where his eyes were green (confirming your theory) and ignored instances where they remained blue (which would disprove your theory).
Were it not for changes in ambient light and proximal hues (i.e. a green sweater) that would make his eyes LOOK green, eyes would necessarily have to produce melanin to CHANGE from blue to green, and this does not happen so quickly.
In the following picture, the A and B squares are EXACTLY the same colour (you can mask the rest of the squares post-its if you don't believe me). Such is the dramatic difference that lighting and shading can do to our perception:

You don't have to tell him any of this though... It's much more fun to be able to tell him "Sweetie, your eyes are green... ;)"

 Yep - mine change from blue to green too :o) not quite as intensely as you describe, but there is definitly a noticable varience.
Haven't yet worked out if it's a trick of the light or whatever, but I don't think it's uncommon to have variations. Usually the main reason for this is, as MetalMan points out, due to the varying levels of melanin being produced, but that isn't the only factor.
And that is all I can remember from GCSE Biology!!

 i dont think thats even possible, sounds sort of vampiric even (you'll kow what i mean if you've read twilight) i can see the pigmentation in your eye changeing in responce to sunlight be that a bleaching effect like your hair in the sun or where the body produces more pigment for protection (like when you get a tan your skin is produceing more melanin making your skin darker) but i have to say a quick chenge like that dosn't seem possible to me, humans just can't change colour very quickly. well assumeing this is actually happening then i cant see it being a nervous reaction (due to your nerves sending signals like moving a muccle) otherwise it'd be an instantanious change so i'd say either a hormonal change or maybe more of a trick of the light like he's holding his head at a lower angle so his eye is more in shadow or something, not being an expert i wouldn't be able to tell you. if i were you i'd start to document it like take photos of his eyes at diffent stages coz as far as i know thats a unique pnenomonon.
to answer your origional question no i have never heard of anythigng like this exept in fiction (see my earlyer comment about twilight etc) i think this intitles a trip to google in order to see if anyone else has encounterd this or if there's an explanation i'll report back later.

whoa.. that's so cool!! Nope, I haven't experienced anything like that. My boyfriend changes eye colours from brown to hazel though, according to the light but that's it.I guess you have got yourself a very unique person. That's great!have fun!
