    I think reducing the pigment in your eyes is ridiculous. I have OCA1a albinism - I have no pigment in any part of my eye. My eyes are violet and photophobia or light sensitivity is all consuming my eyes can’t open outside even on a dull day I have to wear tinted contact lenses and sunglasses before I am vaguely comfy outside. Pigment and melanin is there for a reason, don’t mess with it!!

    I wanted green eyes like my family, my mom, aunt, grandma an sister all got the green eye mutation an I got medium brown eyes. I always thought they were plain and boring until I started getting older. The Mexican indigenous blood in my veins, the gold in my jewelry, the olive undertones in my skin, the sun on a spring day, these things made me appreciate my eyes.

    Photoablative iridoplasty is not new technology. We have been doing it for years with argon to treat angle related glaucoma. The major concerns around cosmetic photoablative iridoplasty using ND: Yag are 2 fold:
    1. The effects of severe laser induced uveitis with pigment dispersion resulting in hypotony from chronicity.
    2. Glaucoma in all its nuances
    The studies you may have referenced are on the effect of ND: Yag on iris stroma and the rate of absorption by the the epithelium are all sound theoretically. What we have not defined clearly is the exclusion criteria and the workup behind it.
    All studies suggest that it should be a safe and revolutionary procedure but the rules have not yet been clearly defined for a safe, predictable cosmetic procedure with the emphasis on cosmetic and the litigation attached to this word.

    I'm scared to have surgery to correct my eyesight (and I know that it has been around for decades now and it is very safe), imagine how I feel about having laser for cosmetic purposes.

      I’m not saying I would for do it but that would be like getting two procedures for the price of one.

    I have seen a video with a girl that change her eye colour in a Turkish city, and her eyes become from dark hazel to a beautiful green-blue colour, after they took out the melanin. The have shown the procedure gradually, and the doctor said that he is letting a very small circle of melanin around the pupil, that he will not touch it with the laser, to not affect the vision, and it was seen in the eyes of the girl to, but from very close. Than is true? This will help that will not be any complications at all in the future? Because I really wanted to do it. The surgery was 4k euros, that is not such a big price.

    I saw one of these companies online a few years ago. I don't remember the name but I do remember it was based in Mexico. I sent them an email requesting more information just out of curiosity and they said pretty much the same thing you said here, that it was just a 'low powered laser' that broke down the melanin, it may take more than one session depending on your starting shade and desired shade and mentioned that additional treatments may be required in the future. I was never serious about changing my eye color, but then seeing that it wasn't permanent really turned me off it. Even if the first session is fine, you could end up with problems after a second or third.

    I hate that we’ve pretty much unanimously agreed the light colored eyes are most beautiful, and white people are pretty much the only people with a large number of these colored eyes. Every romance novel is about staring into “his piercing blue eyes” or “her eyes of hazel green.” They’re meant to make someone “beautiful inside out” and “truly unique” rather than just yet another inherited trait from their privileged parents, and every other race or brown eyed person is just bland and flavourless. Or, if someone’s being nice, “approachable”.
    And then, when eye color changing surgery comes out, they all act so surprised when people risk being blind to do it. “I think eye lightening is ridiculous” yeah, and I bet you’ve gotten at least 1 compliment about your eyes in your life. The ugliest blue eyed dude gets laid. When your eyes are brown you feel invisible and left out.

Quite frankly, an ugly blue eyes dude has less of a chance of getting laid than an attractive brown eyed dude. Honest question. Who do you think has a better chance at getting laid, people with brown eyes like Ryan Reynolds, Kit Harington (Jon Snow from GOT), Jamie Dornan (from 50 Shades), Johnny Depp, Dave Franco, or a dude with blue eyes but chubby cheeks, pimples, and messed up teeth? Or let's look at females with brown eyes. Selena Gomez, Jessica Alba, J Lo, Emma Watson, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek, Keira Knightley, Penelope Cruz, Hailee Steinfeld. Do you truly believe the people I mentioned above are just "approachable" or "invisible"?

    It will be another decade or two, before this procedure is fully perfected and tested for long term effects both good and bad. The laser although impressive, has yet to "Wow Me" with the results of a dramatic color change that more appealing then the beautiful brown color they just zapped away. I do see that the laser technicians are getting more creative with the laser and creating a limbal ring around the irise for more definition and enlargement of the eye and also a star blast of the original eye color around the pupil to create contrast, depth/dimension and a blending effect as the pupil retracts. Will be very interesting to see before & after pictures of patients many years from now!...

Your eyes are perfectly adapted to the environment your ancestors evolved in. Although honestly, blue eyes probably became common among white people due to sexual selection, as opposed to some practical advantage that it confers. Blue eyes are undoubtedly beautiful. If they were not, these operations would not exist.

    FYI to anyone curious, I've had this procedure done. And I'm laughing my ass off every time a doctor threatens with these "huge chunks of melanin that will clog the drainage of the eye". Buddy, I'd love to see some huge chunks of melanin actually go anywhere. Because the process is so incredibly slow and the difference is so tiny you won't see the difference with your own eyes for years! Also, I don't know whether it's true, I've not tested it with a microscope myself, but people doing this procedure claim the melanin isn't just dislodged and left to float. It's mildly damaged so that your immune system goes in and eats it. No clogging anywhere. Inflamation and light sensitivity do rock up right after the sessions, but the doctor gives you pills for it.
    I've been dealing with this for 3 years now. Never did I feel my vision remotely threatened, but I do feel bummed out for spending nearly 6K just to have my brown eyes just a tad-bit ashier.

I would like an in depth answer of what is the superficial part of the cornea for as we are aware that all parts of the cornea have their each individual purpose. If the pigment is removed not only are you taking the chance of pigment induced poag. But also the muscle fiber of the iris are sticky so I don’t see how that can be done and if you add pigment you lose space somewhere in the eye, wherever it may be. Your video was made I see five months ago but I was like how in the world is this done in NYC 😲 with FDA approval?

    Just saw this on television and felt compelled to dig more into it. It's amazing watching people risk their vision just to change what they've got. This seems to be almost exclusively for brown eyed people, yet those people fail to realize that they're actually genetically advantaged. Not only that, but this procedure doesn't look natural on a single person I've seen get this done. Everyone either looks like a demon, or like they're wearing colored contacts. Never have I seen someone simply look natural. Not worth the risk of blindness, and overall just doesn't seem like anyone actually looks better afterwards.

    What makes me sad is just that you kind of know intuitively that it’s not blue eyed people who want brown eyes, it’s the opposite. Status always controls what we perceive as beautiful: there are so many historic examples of that. The fact that people will literally risk hurting their completely healthy bodies by removing pigment from their freaking eyes, just to look like the kind of person who has status, because that’s what this is really about. Blue eyes certainly are not inherently more beautiful than brown eyes, but they do symbolize status. Not blue eyes alone, but blue eyes in combination with pale skin, a healthy smile and expensive clothes will do the trick. I have read about dark skinned people trying to bleach their skin and ending up with third degree burns, and this is the same category in my mind. I understand why people do it, I just think it’s so sad that they feel the need to.

      What are you even saying. You have light skinned people constantly risking skin cancer for a tan. Just don't go overboard with the generalisations. Brown eyes are found in every skin colour and people from every background can want to change their look. Lighter doesn't have to mean blue either. While I personally love my natural eye colour, some people just want to look different. Your comment comes across as incredibly patronising.

      You don’t know that. You believe it, but you don’t know it. I have green eyes. I HATE them. I’ve wanted brown eyes as far back in my life as I can remember and I’m middle aged. I wore brown contacts for years, until I got PRK surgery and my eyes stopped tolerating them. Now I avoids red or purple tones in makeup, clothing and hair colors to avoid highlighting my eyes the color of baby crap.

      You're talking total nonsense. I live in a country where people have naturally light skin and light hair and most people want to make it darker. Skin-darkening cosmetics are promoted at every step, people even dye their eyebrows darker. Dark skin is considered healthier and prettier here.

    • @brinckau
      @brinckau 11 месяцев назад +2

      I believe that too. People have preferences and trends do exist, even if they can change over time. Currently, people prefer Taylor Swift to Mireille Mathieu. They prefer football to archery. They prefer jeans with straight legs to jeans with bell-bottoms legs. They prefer MrBeast to youtube channels about ancient Greek philosophers. Etc.
      Yes, there are some people who love ancient Greek philosophers, and Mireille Mathieu, and archery, etc. And ancient Greek philosophy is fascinating, and Mireille Mathieu was an amazing singer, and archery is a very impressive sport, etc. But still, the vast majority of people have other preferences.
      It's the same for eye color. Some are more popular than others.
