Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic

Surgeon, and it's time for a five minute Friday.

Let's talk about something really cool, eye color. And can you change your eye color? Now this has

been trending. Maybe you've seen videos about it, but I don't know about you guys. I've

always thought about how fun it would be if I could have

lighter, different eye color. Us brown-eyed girls, we sometimes dream of having blue eyes,

green eyes, hazel, gray. It just looks so gorgeous with dark hair. And I know you blue-eyed girls

probably are happy where you are, but I've always wanted to try those

contact lenses that change your eye color. And now there's a procedure where we can actually get a

different color of our iris. In the past, we've been able to do carotopigmentation, where you can

implant pigment through the cornea towards the iris.

And now there is the idea of doing iris implants

where we insert artificially colored lenses into the eye surgically.

And now there's the concept of laser depigmentation

where we're removing melanin from the iris to reveal a lighter color.

What do you think?

Would you let someone manipulate an instrument your eye in order to change the color of your iris?

It's interesting, and people are doing it.

And there is a risk.

Of course, there's always a risk, but everything with controlled risk can have decent or good outcomes.

We can use carotopigmentation, which is corneal tattooing, to use a laser, and it manually injects dye into the corneal stroma.

This kind of mimics a colored iris.
