Using a laser to change the color with hazel eyes to blue

Miraculous transformation technique promises Lumineyes, developed by Dr. Gregg Homer of California Medical Center of Stroma Medical, which improved its more than 10 years, and has received a patent in 2005

Recall that the color of the eye - the product of a number of anatomical features, and not only it is determined the distribution of pigment in the iris, and location of the capillaries and fibers of the shell itself. The blue color is associated with a mutation in a gene HERC2, because of which the outer layer of the iris is substantially free of melanin (on its inner enough). Modern research shows that this mutation occurred 6-10 thousand. Years ago, and possibly all blue-eyed people of Earth have a common ancestor, the genome of which it happened. In contrast, the front shell of the iris at the brown-eyed people full of melanin, which absorbs light of short-wave part of the visible spectrum, creating a brown color.

Procedure Lumineyes, invented by Dr. Homer and waste, takes less than 20 seconds, for which the finest laser beam accurately burns melanin from the front layer of the iris, and a few weeks of his brown eyes turning blue in the expression.

However, do not rush to buy tickets to California. So far, the technique has not passed all the required set of clinical trials, and its authors are looking for investors willing to invest in the completion of testing in human volunteers. In the US, these operations do not begin earlier than in three years. While in some other countries where legislation is softer, Lumineyes will be available, probably a year and a half earlier. We are waiting for reports from Japan, where modification of the body - including the use of contact lenses to change eye color - employment is extremely fashionable.

In general, according to Stroma Medical, 80% of people who have dark eyes, at least 17% would be happy to have changed them to something lighter, if you would be assured of the safety and efficacy of this procedure.
