Changing your eye color...medically? Is this true?!


Question: So a long time ago I heard a rumor of some celebrity who had undergone some procedure and changed his brown eyes to...some other color. I brushed it off b/c I didn't see how that was possible.

Then just this past week I heard about another celeb doing it.

Is this true? It must be expensive...or very very rare b/c you'd think more people would be doing it. At least, I do.

I am not an ophthalmologist, but I am in the medical field - and I have honestly never heard anything like that. In knowing the basic structures of the eye - such as the iris - which is what contains the color - I personally think it would be impossible. Essentially, the iris (or colorful part of the eye) is a fibrous tissue that connects to the stroma - or part of the eye that reacts to the power of light. As such, the only thing that can determine color - is on the cellular level. So... to change color - at least medically, the dna makeup of the iris specific cells would have to be altered.

the only way is with contacts. i dont think that would b safe either

The only way to change this is by using contacts, eye color is settled by your genes!

Perhaps! but I'm not fun of changing on what's natural in me..Maybe some people will do...

The only way I have ever heard,is with contacts!! Unless there is something very new and very costly out there!!

I have heard the same thing a while back, if I remember correctly it was done by inserting a "colored lens" into the cornea thus changing the color of the eye (almost like breast or butt jobs increase the size by putting the implants). Other than that I don't know how else it can be done.
