Nowadays many people appeal to cosmetic contact lenses to change the color of their eyes, but the procedure is developing would be a permanent alternative. Brown eyes are more common than blue, with 80 percent of the population with the pigment darker.
Dr. Gregg Homer Stroma, a California doctor, has created the treatment, called Lumineyes”, which has been working for 10 years and filed for a patent in 2005.
People with brown eyes have a pigment called melanin in the front of the iris. People with blue eyes also have this brown melanin, but only in the back of the iris. It’s this lack of pigment that creates the blue color.
In the procedure, which only lasts about 20 seconds, a laser is used to eliminate the melanin of the upper layer of the iris. After a few weeks, the blue color emerges.
However, it’s still in testing phase, has had a limited use in human beings and more clinical trials are needed to ensure their safety. The specialist hopes this technology is available outside the United States in the next 18 months.
