CAN WE CHANGE THE EYE COLOR??

in #science7 years ago


Is anyone there who ever dreamed about changing eyes color but is tired of using lenses?

It is said that it can be possible in the nearest future, scientists say. 

The technique was invented by California-based Stroma Medical and is available in only few countries. 

 So far, 37 patients in Mexico and Costa Rica have undergone the procedure, which permanently turned their eyes from brown to blue. If you fancy twinkling blue eyes yourself, you had best start saving your pennies as the procedure will set you back around $5,000 (£3,300).  - www.iflscience.com

Okay...but how is it possible? Is it dangerous?

The difference between blue and brown eyes has source in the front layer called stroma. When it comes to brown eyes stroma has a lot of melanin- it's a pigment that provides skin and hair color too. The procedure is based on removing the melanin from the iris by the laser. 

The scientists argue if it's dangerous or not. Some of them claims that this procedure can cause glaucoma, at the same time others say that the laser power is too low to destroy the eye

Would you like to try? I'm waiting for your comments!
