Trending & News Looks matter a lot in this world and I think it would be great if people could choose every aspect of the way they look safely and efficiently. A A persons confidence is often, but not always based upon their looks, and without confidence, you're really held back. However the surgeries that make the most difference are often dangerous and the results could make you look worse than you used to. You can't efficiently/precisely change your facial bone structure. Maybe in the future but not with current technology. Ok now about the eye color surgery. ..
For me the answer would be no because
1. The risks outweigh the benefits (read below articles)
2. I have hazel eys, which can look kinda green in the sunlight, so I don't really want to change them.
3. The results don't look that natural, it's not completely obvious but it's not the same as natural blue eyes
www.geteyesmart.org/.../...-damage-vision-loss.cfm
www.dailymail.co.uk/.../...ong-London-student.html
Yeah.. the things is.. i'm not talking about the iris implant surgery xD but pigment laser removal haha
that one isn't safe for sure... the one i'm talking is still on a clinical trial
I'm hesitant to show the link because I don't want to cause the next surgery craze... but can pm you the link.. those eyes look natural
Ooops, my mistake 😯 However it probably still carry risk of vision impairment, and I don't think it's worth the risk just to change your eye color but I guess we'll have to wait and see how effective/safe it is. Also that means blue eyes could become more common BUT my hazel eyes will remain somewhat rare.
Could you post the link to the article I'd be interested in reading it.
well, if it becomes a big hit.. they will try to create hazel and green eyes xD
I read the article and it said:"Different to corrective laser eye surgery: The treatment to alter the colour involves using a laser inside the eye, rather than on the surface, so it can potentially cause more damage" Also I read the article that sandplanet posted about the risks of lasik, so you've got to consider that the eye color surgery is riskier and it's for a cosmetic benefit rather than a functional one. Also what matters more than the color of the eye is the shape and positioning of the eye, which can't be changed. If people want to take the risk that's fine but I couldn't justify it. Even lasik surgery scares me I'd rather stick to wearing mu contacts.
well, they say it's only performed on the shallowest level of the iris, so not really going so much deeper into the eye than corrective laser surgery... but that's not the point here. the point is would you change your eye colour to blue if it's free and free of complications? I hope most browneyed people would still say no.
Well obviously they are going to downplay the risks, they want people to pay for the procedure. It's just not worth the risk of blindness for a cosmetic procedure imo... Anyways if it was free of complications, still no, like I said I like my hazel eyes. However if I could get eyes like this I'd reconsider. ..

I know thats probably photoshoped a bit but that eye color looks sick!
actually.. they say they're looking for angel investors to pay for their clinical trials, because it's not out yet! anyway.. I prefer this media.giphy.com/media/qU2qpkkxhmhXO/giphy.gif to blue eyes.. it might be photoshopped too.. I don't know but it looks awesome!
Lol, looking for angel investors. 😄
Obviously they are going to say it's safe/low risk, if they said it was dangerous, who would want to invest?
You know what you posted was a cartoon, what I posted was a real person BUT if you like eyes that look like that, this is a pretty close real life example
static.flickr.com/79/265915797_fb95adea67.jpg
I know lol I was just joking.. but Esmeraldas eye color is what I want.. no washed out light green xD I know it doesn't exist.. so I'm content with my fake contacts that can fake that colour xD
Yeah.. I just wanted to know how many brown eyed people would love to have blue eyes.
Alright, makes sence. I agree emerald would look nice. If we are chosing eye colors that don't exist od go with purple.
images2.fanpop.com/.../...eyes-7648017-500-355.jpg
purple is nice! www.photofunblog.com/.../Violet-Contact-Lens.jpg
Those don't look as nice as the picture I posted. I know the one I posted is photoshoped but it looks more realistic. The colored contacts are opaque, just a flat color gradient film placed in front of your eye. But natural eyes are somewhat transparent so the colors have more depth to them. Not sure if I explained that well but to me even the blue colored contacts don't look very natural. I don't know maybe it depends on the brand but most seem obviously fake, especially when you see them up close.
As a med student, I've seen so many proceedures claiming to change your eye color permenantly but there isn't any data regarding potential risks on their site.
I would rather remain brown eyed than facing post operative problems associated with that.
true. this one is not on the market yet.. the other one that is already on the market turned out to cause glaucoma after a few years... but let's say this technology will have as many complications as eye laser surgeries to correct shortsightedness. how many would even do it?
It takes lots of years to know the disadvantages of any proceedure and probably tons of clinical trials but if it has less disadvantages, I bet 9/10 people would do it. I really think blue eyes are overrated tbh.
In this poll... not even closely xD but I think it depends on your age and self acceptance too. I would have definitely loved to have blue eyes when I was a kid/teen.. now I like my brown eyes.
I agree with that :)
But I think it also depends on people from different countries.
Like where brown eyes are fairly common as in my country, people wouldn't think twice before getting their eye color changed.
:O interesting how culture can differ.. in east Asian cultures, people want to look as normal as possible.. they should look at least look at the video theCatcherintheRye provided first. the woman in the video doesn't even look better with blue eyes.
I would like to have brown eyes tbh. I have bright blue eyes, but I think brown eyes are prettier, even though a lot of people think my eyes are beautiful. Why do people want to have blue eyes so bad? You can't see shit when the sun shines and in a lot of lights, they'll look more grey like even though you have very blue eyes.
You can't see when the sun shines because of your blue eyes? :O Do you just see white light or what?
are you short or near sighted? it may be because of your eye color. my eyes are brown and are also very sensitive, because I'm very short sighted.
nope i won't!!! its sounds too fucking risky!!! i'm born with my dark brown eyes and i love it!! its a familial heritage and i respect it.. also.. what's up with the blue eyes? EYES ARE EYES AS LONG AS YOU CAN SEE PROPERLY BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE INSTEAD OF TRYING OF GETTING WHAT YOU CAN'T!!!
lol what a strong reaction... does somebody secretly wish to be born with blue eyes? xD loool I'M KIDDING!!!
lol i just want people to be happy with what they have that's all
some people think they're happier with a new something something.. who are we to deny them MORE happiness? lol I'm just glad I've never been so unhappy with myself.
Well, I already have blue eyes. If I had brown eyes, I'd rather have them be blue.
However, I wouldn't risk eye problems to have that procedure done, but if there were theoretically a way to do it with zero risk, I'd have it done.
I like having blue eyes :)

I used to want to get brown eyes, believe it or not. It was the same logic of how guys supposedly like girls who are so thin they have no fat on them at all - I figured people didn't like me because of my eye color, as everyone else had brown, haha.
Obviously, the reason was because I as genuinely unlikeable. But I like my eyes now, so voted C).
dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4363931/eye-6.PNG
@harakiri well not anymore, but there was a time when I was desperate to read about "empathy" so I could disprove its existence because I went with the logic that "you are not them therefore it is impossible for sou to feel what they feel, therefore empathy cannot exist" but I read about it enough that I actually learned it, lol. It still takes me more conscious effort at times than it seems to take for others, but still better than nothin'.
Yeah.. I've never heard of light eyed people complaining about their eye colour xD
@harakiri yap :p
I did always like hazel eyes. There is a certain shade of light brown that's fairly attractive. Not that I mind blue or anything :D
@bubble_tea I'm spaeshiul in a bad sense, apparently XD
Can't believe you even contemplated getting brown eyes.
@killerzombiehunter to be honest, a proper haircut and better clothing and better glasses would have helped me out way more than an eye color change would have. :p (and realizing that I was an even bigger ass hat than I am sometimes now, which is definitely extreme)
Some Dr. In California is already doing the procedure, but it's not gov approved yet. Everyone is born with blue eyes, the melanin just hides it with a different color. If I was rich and had $500 to blow, then I'd do it. But me, being a blsck guy, most people would just assume that I must have hated my brown eyes and got blue eyes to feel better about myself so nah I'll stick with brown to avoid the criticism.
yes, there are already procedures out there that aren't safe though.
umm.. is there another reason why would you change it if you had no problems with your brown eyes?
I'd guess I'd change it to look somewhat more exotic lol. Blue eyes can give averages faces a lot of appeal.
You could always do contacts.
@redroses1996
I'm too lazy to remove and clean contacts everyday lol
True!!!<3
there are one-day contacts you can throw away after one use xD no need to clean..
Where I grew up turning your "brown eye blue" had a whole different meaning...
:o I'm intrigued.. what's the meaning?
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php
I guess it's not as popular as I thought to phrase it that way haha
LMAO !
id rather change my dark brown eyes to this
takenfrom.com/.../...leu4o1_500%20green%20eyes.jpg
rather? is this not blue/grey?
i got no idea, but i love that colour haha
lol, you might get it with that procedure.. depending on your iris composition xD
anyway, I'd like Disney's Esmeralda eye colour, but it doesn't exist in nature :(
aha yeah, but in saying that i won't get surgery on my eye tho, wish i was born with that eye colour tho ahha
Nope, im the only one in my family branch of 5 who's left handed and has brown eyes, happy being unique
Hell yeah, I would love to have blue eyes and look like this guy
www.wowtop10.com/.../michael-ealy1.jpg
Lol!!!
My eyes are already blue but personally, I don't see why anyone would want to change their eye color like that. Brown eyes are pretty too, especially on people with darker skin tones. All eyes are unique and beautiful in their own way.
That seems absolutely ridiculous to have surgery to change eye color.
but is it more ridiculous to change your nose shape?
In the sense that you can wear colored contacts, I'd say the eye surgery is worse.
*more ridiculos than... oh well you got me.. xD
well, some people can't wear contacts due to dry eyes.
Right and some people don't have eyes. The exception doesn't disprove the generalization. Besides, there's nothing saying that brown eyes are ugly. I know some women with quite beautiful brown eyes.
There are people who are born without eye balls? 😮
I never said brown eyes were ugly. I have brown eyes myself, but a friend of mine hates her eye colour and would change it in an instant.. direct quote
She dislikes wearing colored contacts everyday.. and when she got an eye infection, she still wore them... -_- at this rate she's going blind in a few years because her eyes cannot breath
Well she's got issues bigger than eye color, I can guarantee.
well.. technically all pure cosmetic surgeries aren't done on people have no issues xD
Some people have legitimate 'defects' and the surgery just fixes things that are really bad. But yeah, for the majority you are probably right.
cosmetic surgeries are surgeries performed ONLY for cosmetic reasons alone. plastic surgeries aren't necessarily for cosmetic reasons only.. but deviated septums can be corrected without altering your nose shape. some just use it as an opportunity to change the whole nose shape.
Yeah I totally would my grandpa had them blue (RIP Papa) I wish I had them or at least hazel/green like my other Grandpa, Dad and brother. I think I would look weird to be honest.
you mean you'd look weird with blue eyes?
yes, I prefer hazel/green to blue too ^^
I generally dislike brown eyes don't know why. I don't even date anyone that has brown eyes. I can't explain it. So yeah if I had brown eyes and had this amazing opportunity yeah I would do it brown is too mundane.
thats a tricky one. I've always wanted blue eyes but i dont think i would look good with them haha and I've grown to really like my brown eyes. so im not sure. id have to get contacts to see if i liked it better before i did anything permanent haha
I voted C. But seriously, surgery on the eyes is no joke and should only be done if really necessary. As the Italians say:
Non si gioca con gli occhi.
yeah.. the reason why I'm still wearing glasses and contacts instead of going for eye laser surgery to correct them. I'm scared of the risks D:
It's not worth the risk.
idk.. a friend seemed pretty happy with his corrected eyes. waking up with perfect vision is nice.. especially when you're as near-sighted and clumsy as I am.
And you want to risk that?
:o have people turned blind from corrective eye laser surgery?
Here's an interesting article about the risks:
derstandard.at/.../Augen-lasern-Risiken-Komplikationen
thank you! unfortunately, it doesn't say how often those side-effects happen.. but I would probably see halos. while it might look cool in pictures www.operationauge.de/.../nightdriving-after.jpg I don't wish to see that every night of my life.. so no thanks!
also, I have a nice excuse to wear colored contacts ^^
And if you ask me, glasses can look really hot on girls!
if you're farsighted or only a little nearsighted.. definitely! but I just look like this www.tierchenwelt.de/.../maulwurf_huegel.jpg with a glass frames.
I don't believe that. I have seen a picture of you before.
well.. I didn't wear glasses in that picture xD and my eyes are already small for my face unlike yours!
Do you sometimes wear glasses? If so, can you show me a pic (in a PM) of you wearing them?
yes I do.. but I'm vain xD I don't take pics with them haha
Okay.
It seems brown eyes could be extinct...
Unless you still pass that gene despite not having them anymore?
I think I would like to keep mine, especially if everyone is changing their eye color...
I don't think it will change your genes.. a nose job won't change your genes either
Can it make my blue eyes bluer?
They appear a dull grey or even green unless the lighting is good. Sucks having blue eyes but not the blue eyes that are attractive, so close yet so far.
umm.. I read that they can only make a dark shade lighter, not the other way around.. but luckily there are contacts too
brown eyes are actually considered the most trustworthy, and blue eyes, the least able to be trusted.
haha.. yes! I read that xD
but.. I read light eyes are more desirable, because it's a recessive gene.. like red hair
huh? nothing against red heads but they're definetly not considered more desirable. not natural red heads anyway. they tend to get a lot of crap from people, especially when younger.
Nope, have you seen an Asian dude wit blue contacts it looks ridiculous. Everyone would assume it's not natural anyways.
blue contacts always look freakish xD
c1.staticflickr.com/1/54/150324675_bc22154091.jpg
but the guy in the pic has real blue eyes..
farty.. what about Asian chicks with blue contacts?
ridiculous or hot?
YOU BET YOUR SWEET AS I WOULD. Brown eyes are never attractive on men, but your hear women say how much they like blue eyed men all the time. Blue eyes would be a great help in life.
You should search and eye color thread because plenty of chicks prefer brown eyes lol
only because those blue eyes are photoshopped. IRL not many blue eyed people have the deep blue that you always see in the media.. therefore brown is better.
I prefer brown eyes. lol
I would not... no reason to risk surgery on my eyes unless it is mandatory.
what if there are no risks and complications? would you?
@bubble_tea Nope... then I would have to change my drivers license and that is not worth the hassle.
Holy cow, I'd never do that. I love my blue eyes but I'm such a sucker for dark brown eyes. When I want a change I wear green contacts.
yeah, I like to wear green contacts too! ^^
Well I already have blue eyes, but I just thought I'd say I'm most attracted to girls with dark brown eyes.
your fan girls will be happy to know that ^^
Yeah, pretty much all of them have brown eyes hahaha.
I don't think have brown eyes, they are hazel (wich is a combination of light brown and green and sometimes the look green and sometimes more like brown) and no, I wouldn't change my eyes color. I don't think blue suits me anyway.
No I would not... I am happy with my dark brown eyes.. and I am not attracted with recessive eye color..
I don't have brown eyes but I think they are so beautiful. I love mine too but every girl/guy with brown eyes is so striking to me
No I lub my brown eyes :3 .. Besides you can get coloured contacts lol
I know, but I know someone who daily wears coloured contacts who'd still say yes xD
Yeah haha I mean it's cool and all but I think I will miss my brown eyes too much 😐 lol 🙊
you can get coloured contacts in brown whenever you miss them 😉 lmao that'd be so weird
Yeah it's so uncommon.. The seller might be like "whoa we have no brown contacts, we just have the blue, green, grey and the cat eyes" LOL!!
I have hazel eyes and would love to turn them Brown :)
this is sadly not possible.. they can only make eyes brighter, not darker.
I didn't know they could change them at all.. so yeah..
i wouldn't say that i like my brown eyes but i wouldn't go through the surgery to get the color changed. it sounds dangerous :P
No, but I would turn my gray eyes brown, if there was I way to do that.
yes! colored contacts! ^^
Nah.
If anything I'd make my pupils look like hearts.
red hearts or black hearts? xD
Brown eyes are fine, seems ridiculous to go through surgery to change your eye color. I have blue eyes anyway though.
well.. it seems ridiculous to me to get surgery to go from a B cup to a D cup... I guess wherever there is a demand, there will be a supply.
I agree. I actually perfer B cup over D anyway in all honesty. People should just be happy with what they have and not give into society and what society thinks they should be or have.
I have green eyes and I would never want to change them blue, I personally don't like blue eyes.
Nay I like by greeny blue eyes ill stay with that : )
No why would I? I like how I Look and who I'm there is nothing to change..
My eyes are pretty how they are (blue). So i dont think i need this procedure done to me.
No because Asians dont have blue eyes and it wld be odd to have
You can say it looks odd/weird, but some Asians do have blue eyes..
-_- did you see the link I provided for asianboy? that farmer guy has no means to wear contacts..
i've got green eyes but i'd like to have shinning YELLOW eyes
I have hazel eyes, I think I'd honestly like to have green eyes. I prefer green eyes on women, why? Because I prefer redheads. Typically redheads have green eyes (not always though)
No thank you. My brown eyes are beautiful and would no change it.
No. It seems quite risky. And also I am okay with my black eyes because light colored eyes would look super odd on me. :)
lol I watched a vid about it on YouTube yesterday. Nope, I'd not. Fake and might be dangerous.
do you have the link of the video?
yeah.. that's not the surgery i'm talking about... the one in the vid leads to glaucoma and blindness.. so beware!
by the way the girl in the vid got a nosejob too
yeah she isn't the same girl obviously lol
and i'd never do something like that. brown eyes are so underrated ;)
I didn't see your last comment before... wait what? It's not the same girl even? She looks the same to me with a nose job and very fake eye color
her voice is kinda different too she's most likely a different girl lol
oh lol I didn't pay attention to her voice. good catch!
hahah :P
I just watched it again.. I think it is the same girl xD she just sounded like she had a cold in the first interview. if you look at 2:17 you'll see her blue eye color is extremely fake.. and she has the same dimples at the corners of the mouth when she's talking.. also the same speaking pattern.
No thanks. I like brown eyes. In my opinion it's the girls who looks better with blue eyes.
I would rather just let Crystal Gayle sing to me. lol
If I knew how it looked beforehand, maybe. But nope being it's irreversible.
I don't think blue eyes would work on me as well as brown does, so nope.
Yes, my skin color is a light caramel color because I'm mixed. They would look beautiful. So I vote A :)
My eyes are like green, yellow, blue. It's awesome.
I would look crazy. So no. :p
i would change my eyes to red color!
You would regret that later.
they can't do that yet..
no that would look soo weird on me
are you sure? jesse williams looks fine with blue eyes.
im darker than jesse Williams. I think he would look better with darker eyes
oic.. hmm I used to fancy him because of his exotic look, but brown eyes would definitely look nice on him too.
No thanks. I'm happy with my brown eyes.
I would not want blue eyes.
No I wouldn't. I like my hazel eyes.
No way, not a chance. I love brown eyes.
Violet would be cool.
yeah, violet looks really good on me xD
I would look silly with blue eyes, so no.
Yea but not a procedure. I would do contacts.
No I would not, I see no reason to.
No reason too they are already deep blue.
Blue eyes would look super weird with my face.
i'm scared of the risks
Neverrrrrrrrr. My brown eyes are the bomb.
