Doctor claims to irreversibly change eye color from brown to blue
Baku, November 4 (AZERTAC). Did you ever thought about the possibility of changing your eyes color to blue? If yesterday this was only just a dream, a doctor made it true by showing he can permanently change a person eye color in under 30 seconds.
Doctor Gregg Homer, who works at Stoma Medical Center in California, uses a special kind o laser to change the eye color from brown (the most common type of eye color) to blue, using his Lumineyes technology. The laser works by burning the brown color pigment also know as melanin contained in the upper layer of the iris and the result is baby blue eyes within two to three weeks.
The Lumineye technology shaves one layer of brown pigment leaving one blue layer instead. You can see the results below, in a patient on the lower half of the eye.
Doctor Gregg Homer and his technology can provide a powerful alternative for contact lenses for people who want lighter eyes. The down side is that the procedure is irreversible as the iris can not regenerate and turn brown again.
