Eye color changing by laser? (Photo)

Question

I saw on the internet pictures of people who changed their eye color to blue by laser, it's called oceanic eyes laser technology. I want to know more about it, is it safe, is it preformed in the US? And how much it costs Thank you

Basil Pakeman, MD · Answer

As an oculofacial surgeon, it's crucial to clarify the current legal landscape regarding "oceanic eyes laser technology." As of now, there is no FDA-approved procedure for permanently changing eye color through lasers in the United States of America. Any procedure claiming to do so is experimental and not sanctioned by any regulatory authority in this country. Altering the pigmentation of the iris can pose significant risks to eye health and vision; there is a possibility of losing your vision entirely. Additionally, the variability in outcomes and potential complications make such procedures ethically and medically complex.
