Doctor Develops Laser Eye Surgery Technique that can Change Eye Color

Dr. Gregg Homer and his firm, Stroma Medical of Southern California are pioneering a new laser treatment that can permanently turn brown eyes into blue eyes without impacting the patients vision.

While still in the research stages, Dr. Homer has developed a technique using computer guided laser to remove the brown pigment called melanin from irises. This in turn will reveal the blue pigment beneath. The laser process takes about 20 seconds to complete and will result in a permanent change in the patients eye color.

The treatment is expected cost in the neighborhood of $5000 and should be availablein the United States within three years.
