The development of technology in the world of beauty and health to make doctors are now able to improve one's physical shortcomings. A surgeon from Laguna Beach, California, for example, revealed that he may have found a way to change eye color brown to blue. This procedure is expected to be beneficial for people with Heterochromia, where a pair of eyes that are not owned by the same color. Actress Kate Bosworth, for example, his right eye is brown, while the left one is blue.

Dr. Gregg Homer of Stroma Medical stated this after doing research for 10 years. He found that the brown pigment on the surface of the cornea can be retrieved by means of laser, so leave the blue pigment beneath the thinner. On television station KTLA Dr. Homer said that the body will get rid of this modified network, and changing brown eyes to blue within two or three weeks.

Dr. Homer also said that testing does not indicate the presence of tissue damage, but naturally there will probably be negative side effects that have not been detected. Although research is still needed another year of time, Dr. Homer can expect this procedure has been applied outside the U.S. in 18 months, and in America itself within three years. Laser surgery that only takes about 20 seconds it will cost around 5,000 dollars.

However, the discovery of Dr. Homer seems less approved by other surgical specialists. Dr. Conswalla Shavers, LASEK surgeon Park Avenue, New York City, said that the procedure can be dangerous, and potentially cause bad side effects.

"I think the risks would outweigh the benefits for patients. It can release too much pigment into the fluid-filled space between the membrane and the cornea that can impede drainage system within the eye. As a result, the pressure can rise and lead to glaucoma, "he explained.

Just because someone wants blue eyes, does not mean it must also be permanently damaged eyesight, so roughly that will happen. Dr. Shavers also said, no one can be sure there will be a blue pigment under the lining of the eye. "You can just throw away brown pigment, and it turns out there are more brown pigment underneath," he said.

Blue eyes that are characteristics of the buried, and although parents are carriers of these traits, we can not know what color is located at the base of the membrane. In other words, Dr. Shaver did not trust the procedures that were raised by Dr. Homer worth pursuing. He did not even intend to perform the procedure to patients.

"Colored contact lenses will be far less risky. You will not get side effects, and color can you guarantee you," he said.
