No way! I'd never fool around with my eyeballs or eyesight, unless medically necessary.

There's a Kpop band "Twice" (I believe) that has one or two members with startlingly blue eyes. I'm not sure if they're wearing some kind of crazy contact lenses, or actually had surgical procedures done. Or else maybe it's CGI. I hope it's not surgery or "tattoos". No one should ever have a procedure done on their eyes unless it's medically necessary, in my opinion.

People with body dysmorphia are better off getting to the root of their mental problem. And that goes for everyone with a mental problem, too.
It's supposed to be sort of reversible. There's no guarantee they can get all the color back, you could have areas of light and dark. I imagine it's another 12K to try. lol.

Hmm, I want to change my look. I was thinking:

a) New hairstyle
b) Have someone stick a needle in my eyes to try to change their colors, with the attendant risk of blindness.

New hairstyle, or needles in the eyes? Boy, what a tough choice!

Proof that there are some EXCEPTIONALLY STUPID people out there.

I looked up Pixie Foxx; what a freak!
And those trout lips are most regrettable.

Free will and all that so knock yourself out.

That being said, I did find a government trial where outcomes were good but only 16 people, no long term studies and they seem to have been done on people with existing eye issues like lack of pigment etc.

Obviously for someone with a medical condition that this will help them live a better life I can see more justification than just for cosmetics but again...free will.

But nothing is risk-free.

That is a tough decision isn't it?

But it isn't unexpected because once some kind of trend gets popular it always seems to get pushed to greater extremes. In this case tattooing/ body modification in general. It started with small tattoos, they got bigger and placed anywhere on the body. Eyes are a body part, so why not? All kinds of implants, plastic surgeries, injections, many which make people look weird, not good.

I think if some people could turn themselves into something totally unrelated to what and who they were born as they would. Like have their consciousness put into an animal or a robot or something. Just throw our genetics into the trash.

I wonder if it makes any changes in biometrics. You know - eye readers.
I know that biometric iris recognition scanners work by illuminating the iris with invisible infrared light to pick up unique patterns that are not visible to the naked eye. I wonder if this is not altering it somehow, besides of the color.

People are bored with themselves. Some don't know where to spend their money. They already have everything, so why not to try every novelty available?
Some maybe think that having unique eye color will make them more attractive (probably yes) and they will get more likes on dating apps. Who knows. Many don't have any real problems in life, so they just look around for whatever could entertain them.
And there are freaks that just make bizarre things to their bodies....

Geeze, that’s terrifying. I have been extremely myopic since age 8 & phobic about my eyesight. I can’t imagine doing that. I just had cataract surgery & THAT scared me, even though it was a vast improvement for my vision.

Never risk your eyesight for vanity, good lord!
