Surgery to CHANGE the color of your EYES!!! (IRIS)
Feb 22, 2011
Was told a few months back that there is actually a surgery to change the color of one's eye. I was SHOCKED! Remembered to look it up today, and sure enough there is. Holy shit. I swear, couples making babies now a days may not know what they're getting themselves into! How many people have their ORIGINAL parts nowadays?!!??!
Ladies and gentlemen we have now entered, the BIONIC ERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I was searching for the cost, I came across this piece of writing below. Let's just say, I'm keeping my brown eyes.

A video on how the procedure's done...
I actually think it's kinda freaky looking.
There are no lines...just a blank color.
Warning from Paul MB off of Yahoo answers:
The eye has basiclly 3 layers. It starts out as an outpocketing from the brain. This forms a ball that grows and approaches the 'skin'. When this gets close, there's a collapsing of the cup into two layers that form the retina and the pigment epithelium.
This double layer'd cup becomes the retina, but the front part becomes the back of the iris, the colored part of the eye. Part of those cells become the dilator muscle of the iris and respond to darkness to dilate the pupil and allow more light, and the other layer becomes very 'dark' to stop light from going through the iris except for the hole in the middle, the pupil.
The surface of the iris comes from a vascular layer, and comes from a mesodermal layer (not neuroectoderm like the retina). The iris has lots of vessels in the back part of the eye. It lays against the white layer, and the retina lays on top of it. The combination of the iris in front, and the choroid in the back form a layer called the UVEAL tract. If one were to remove the outer layer of the eye this layer would look like a dark grape (uva in spanish...sort of get the drift?)
This layer is VERY sensitive to changes in your immune system.
People with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondiylitis, Psoriatic arthritis, Sarcoidosis, Juvenile Arthritis, Certain gastrointestinal problems involving inflammation such as Chron's disease, or urinary tract diseases....and on and on and on...
The reason for all this 'stuff', is that if you "instrument" your iris to change the color, are you opening an immunological can of worms that will condemn you to years of anti-inflammatory s, cataracts, loss of vision from chronic inflammation, secondary glaucoma from the inflammation and/or the anti-inflammatory s used to control the inflammation? The ANSWER is
YES!
These are NOT HAPPY PEOPLE! (hint)
The 'new' iris will not have any neurological connections. It will not respond to light or stress the way the old (came with the body one) one does.
If you are getting an implant, is this a lens implant? If it's an iris implant or something that sits in front of the iris, whatever that implant is made of IS GOING TO DAMAGE THE INSIDE OF THE CORNEA so that the little cells, the endothelial cells in their one layer architechture, will eventually not be able to sufficiently keep your cornea dry, and you'll end up having to use s to lower the pressure in your eye, as well as dehydrate your eye with high %salt solutions, and that's before the first TRANSPLANT to save your vision.
