Funny how no one wants dark brown eyes, no one wears brown contacts and no one on that site got surgery to change to brown.
I have brown eyes and wish they were a bit lighter, but I will not have surgery or even wear those coloured contacts.
Maybe Paris Hilton changed her eye colour permanently? She always appears with blue eyes... don't her eyes get a little sore always wearing coloured contacts? I get home and cannot wait to take out my (normal, non coloured) contacts...

I was thinking the SAME thing! Mine are brown. They're hazel-y brown & they change shade depending on my makeup or what I'm wearing. I like them-- I wouldn't want to change them
It is kind of like hair color, though. The vast majority of people on earth have dark hair and dark brown eyes. Although people do color their hair brunette, it is far more popular to color one's hair a "rarer" color like red or blonde. Likewise, people want a rarer eye color, and true green eyes are very rare, just as any light eyes are uncommon among certain nationalities.
I'm a big fan of working with what you've got and not striving to achieve something that isn't natural for you.

Okay, that procedure (for cosmetic purposes) is sick and twisted. The results look no different than those tacky, fake-looking colored contacts - although I will admit, those contacts look okay on some people but not on others (usually when the change in color is not very drastic).

Sick and twisted ?
I seriously don't get what everyone is so worked up about. It's just a cosmetic procedure, as medical knowledge advances it's only natural that new procedures will come out and become available that were not known before. Just like new technology is coming out that was unheard of 20 years ago.
What's different let's say trying to change your eye color compared to stuffing yourself with chemicals and diet pills instead of losing weight the natural way ? Or having a liposuction ? How is that any different ?
For anyone who is saying "you should be just happy with what you got" if you use any sort of cosmetic procedure - restylane, teeth whitening, collagen, any sort spa treatment to improve your appearance, then you are a GIANT HYPOCRITE because you should also be happy with mother nature has given you.
I'd get this procedure in a heart beat if I could afford it. There are at least two threads in the general forum section about people saying untactful things (asking if you are pregnant and stuff) - well, I'm sick of noisy rude people asking me if I was adopted because I don't look like the rest of my blonde blue eyed Russian family due to my eye color.

well i don't want to debate the medical merits of having such a procedure done, but even if I really wanted to change my eye colour, this doesn't seem like the right procedure to take.
Money aside, the results they show on the website just look really bad. The colour looks too solid, so it looks fake and lacking in depth. All of the 'befores' looked better than the 'afters' because at least the 'befores' had depth and intensity. Natural eyes have a myriad of different shades and hues of 'brown', 'blue', 'green', etc. The implants they showed on the website seem to just have a solid 'green' for example. Sort of blank and soul-less....
So while individual preference may favour blue over brown, the results they show on the website don't do any favours in enhancing your eyes.

Well, for your information, I personally don't stuff myself with diet chemicals and/or diet pills (I work out 5 times a week) and I would not have liposuction. I don't necessarily agree with using any of those things as a long-term means to lose weight, but I'm also a fan of doing what works best for you.
I don't even know why you are comparing the two things (weight loss and eye color)???? Issues with weight are not just cosmetic. Being overweight has consequences to your health. Wanting a new/different eye color is purely cosmetic and has no bearing on your overall health. I would NEVER consider an operation that might risk my eye sight just to change the color of my eyes. But again, that's just my opinion, and everyone should do what's right for them.

I agree that *natural* blondes and redheads are relatively rare, but women who dye their hair those colors are a dime a dozen where I live. It took me many years, but I'm finally very happy with what I've got. You won't catch me dead with blue contacts or lightened hair, because then I'd look just like everyone else...
I also agree with this. The results from the procedure look no more real than the colored contacts.
I agree with most of you too, I wouldn't EVER have a surgery like this one. I already wear contacts and can't imagine messing with my eyes for any reason.
Brown, blue, green, multi -they are all beautiful to me and I can't imagine why anyone would want to change what they have.

I never knew you could do that! I love my eye color. Sure they're boring brown, but everyone always tells me they look so pretty.
