This surgery was developed in Panama (not Florida) to help the Indians who suffered from albinism. (Albino) Also, those who have damage to the iris are highly recommended to get this surgery. An intraocular implant is inserted through a small hole, to cover the eye to change the color of the iris. This surgery was performed in Los Angeles until it was banned by the FDA. It is now only performed in Panama. There is a high risk of getting glaucoma, cataracts and other serious damages to the eye such as blindness. The cost of this surgery is 7,500 plus the travel expenses for going to Panama being that this surgery is banned in the US. I mean hey, it’s your eyes. This surgery sounds pretty cool. I never knew that this existed & I think its dope that you can alter the color of your eyes. However, I do recommended using alternatives such as contacts instead of the surgery. Being blind is not that great.
