Doctors at Stroma Medical have created a new way to make people's eyes blue that doesn't involve colored contacts or the the incredibly dangerous synthetic iris surgery. Apparently, the technique involves a precision laser that will disrupt the layer of melanin, which is the pigment that makes eyes darker, which will in turn lead to the body enacting a normal tissue removal process. The key behind this laser surgery is that all humans have blue eyes, but that some of us are born with a darker layer that covers it. Articles on this topic have been printed on multiple websites, including the Huffington Post and TIME, and the surgery, according to doctors, will be available to the public within the next 3 years. At present, scientists are still testing the surgery and waiting to see if any long-term negative side effects appear. They are also turning to investing and funding to keep their research going. This topic is clearly controversial, as many scientists and doctors alike have said that this seems dangerous and puts a vital body part at risk. Why would you risk your eyes for a purely aesthetic reason? The tone of this article also suggests that the author doesn't completely agree with the process, and that she is somewhat skeptical about the results and the possible negative effects.
