New Laser Surgery Offers To Turn Brown Eyes Blue, But Why?

What's wrong with being a brown-eyed girl?

Blue eyes can, of course, be stunningly beautiful.

But that isn't to say that they should be the most coveted irises out there.

A new laser surger has been invented, which promises to alter the appearance of brown eyes, to make them blue.

So does this mean that blue eyes are better and more striking than all the others?

The Treatment

According to Stroma Medical, the company offering the procedure, we all have blue eyes underneath.

So, they claim, the treatment consists of "disrupting" the top layers of pigment, causing the body to start enacting its own gradual tissue-removal process.

The patient sits in a frame, much like the ones used in sight-correcting laser surgeries. A different kind of laser treatment is then applied.

According to the website, for a week after the sugery, the irises will appear darker, but then will graduall fade to blue within about four weeks after that.

It's not actually available to the general public yet, as it is still undergoing various medical evaluations, but it may become accessible to any of us in the near future.

But Why?

"Change the way the world sees you", is the line used by Stroma Medical, seemingly implying that the public perception of you will be improved with the change in eye colour.

Kim Kardashian recently Instagrammed a picture of her daughter North, in which she'd used an online editing tool to change the colour of her baby's eyes to blue.

And as we will all begrudgingly admit, what Kim Kardashian does, others will surely copy.

Blue contact lenses have been around for a long time, but we rather thought their popularity as a fashion accessory had faded out in the mid noughties.

Here's something else to consider though: if we keep all deciding on the "ultimate" constituent parts that make up "beauty", and altering our appearances according, will we not all eventaully just end up looking the same?

Surely genetic diversity is at the heart of attraction?
