Lovelyish

I love my brown eyes – I wouldn’t change them for anything!

It’s cool. I like my eye color and would only change it with contacts for fun, but it’s neat the option is available. He is gonna be rich.

My mom’s glaucoma medicine turned her green eyes brown.

I think it’s sad that blue eyes wont be special anymore. Blue and green eyes are more rare to naturally occur so they’re special. If you can just choose them they won’t be special anymore.

this is some serious “the bluest eye” crazyness for me…

sure, i think it’s swell to mix things up with contacts. but permanently changing your eye colour with some kind of pseudo-surgery? that’s not how i wanna feel.

i don’t think it’s for me, but more power to ya if you’d be willing to give it a go.

I see the sadness about it not being natural and rare anymore but i would love to change my eye color. I have light brown eyes, not dark by any means, I have been told that I have “Edward Cullen” eyes. That light amber color. i have been told many times that they are pretty and different for brown. I accept that but I am the only one in my family with brown eyes. My mom has green, my dad has blue and my sister has green. It makes me jealous because i think colored eyes are more attractive. I am so attracted to guys with blue eyes and think that people with colored eyes in general are prettier. So it would not only make my personal preference reality, it would make me feel more fit in with my family. And if you love your brown eyes, more power to you!

I think it’s kind of stupid and only promotes the beauty standard of blonde hair and blue eyes being more attractive.

Way cool idea, but I love my brown eyes. 
He’s gonna make bank.

I have brown eyes. I’d never want them to be anything else!

I lovvve brown eyes, they’re so warm and sexy. All the guys I’ve dated have had brown eyes…I’d be sad if people started getting this surgery because they thought their brown eyes were unattractive.

Its cool and if I had brown eyes I might think about it. I have blue eyes/green eyes. They change colors quite often. Lately they have been very green.

I like my eyes. It’s why when I got contacts I got the clear kind.

I wouldnt want to change mine to blue.. just a lighter brown

@malissa1578@xanga - That is so cool! My boyfriend has green-blue eyes that shift colors, too. I find it endlessly amazing!

Uh… I’ll stick to colored contacts.

i love brown eyes. i wouldn’t want to change mine, but i like other people’s brown eyes.

I don’t like my brown eyes, I’ve always wished I could get that look girls with light eyes have when they wear makeup. To bring out brown eyes, you have to use something dark, and the only thing darker is black. And when someone with light eyes wears dark makeup, their eyes look even more dramatic.

I would probably do this if I could.

I love my brown eyes.  Every color of eye is beautiful!

@articulate_silence@xanga - I find that using black eyeliner and mascara, with purple eyeshadows enhances dark brown eyes.

I don’t think it’s right to be able to change your eye color. False advertising. If a naturally blue eyed person marries a fake and they have kids. The kid will most likely get brown eyes. That bothers me. Lol. That’s just me.  I don’t understand why everyone, well most everyone feels the need to change what they were given. Just embrace what you were born with. Love yourself. Otherwise you’ll never feel satisfied with yourself. Soon enough everyone is going to be fake. Not a nice thought

Mine naturally change…they’re blue with yellow flecks if you look close, so they look blue or green or gray, depending on what I wear.

I think brown eyes are beautiful and amazing. I wouldn’t want people to ever think they need to change their eye color to be gorgeous. Diversity is what keeps it interesting!

@Ashley Nicole Anders@facebook - Then brown eyes will be cool!

if everyone does this then blue eyes won’t be special and everyone will want brown eyes again

if everyone does this then blue eyes won’t be special and everyone will want brown eyes again

As much I’d want blue eyes, I’m too scared to commit to a permanent change like that…don’t want to mess up an already good thing.

@articulate_silence@xanga - Purples, greens, blues, golds and even shades of brown bring out brown eyes. Try it out yourself.

@wallerus@xanga - Society considers certain features to be attractive with blue eyes being one of them. People that have internalized this will do what they can to become more attractive in the eyes of society. Look at yourself, you would be bothered by people getting this surgery because, ” If a naturally blue eyed person marries a fake and they have kids. The kid will most likely get brown eyes.” What’s the big deal about not passing on blue eyes? Oh right, society.

@babybug329@xanga - I love purple eyeshadow! I agree its probably the best way to bring out brown eyes.

@theflowerstem@xanga - I will have to try those

For everyone saying brown eyes won’t be special…there will always be brown eyes. It’s like saying no one will wear glasses because now we have lasik or razor companies will go out of business because there’s laser hair removal. 

The amount of people doing this will only be a fraction of the world that has brown eyes. 

@wallerus@xanga - Two blue eyed people can have a brown eyed child. Two dark skinned people can have a light-skinned child. Genetics is a lottery sometimes.

Having eye surgery to improve someone’s vision is more invasive than this, but you won’t call someone who wanted better vision fake, would you?

blue eyes are so last century! I want to know how to naturally turn my gray eyes violet!!

Doctors are supposed to heal people. Not to try to make money by manipulations of their body.

Especcially eyes… I can understand that somebody with a huge nose would get rid of it by “medical” ways, but concerning eye colors… lenses ?

I like my brown eyes so no. I actually never wanted blue eyes. Green, sure, Violet, sure, but never blue.

Amazing. I don’t so much see it as being “fake” because it’s removing a pigment layer to show the blue that’s already there. I think it’s awesome for the people who have always wanted blue eyes to have that option in the future.

For me, however, I’m happy changing it up now and again with contacts. I would do that regardless of what color my eyes were naturally because I like change.

I don’t necessarily like my brown eyes but I can’t imagine myself with a different eye color. 

Between this and sun-in, Hitler’s dream of an aryan world can finally come true!

Why can’t we be happy with what we were born with? We were made that way for a reason, and our idiosyncrasies are what make us innately human. If we strip away our humanity with some kind of eugenics-based pseudo-science, what will we have left?

No pretty varnish or facade can fix insecurity; it only perpetuates it.

Plus, I’m pretty sure that if there are complications in that surgery, you could go blind or lose an eye. Then you will be rocking the pirate look with one murky blue eye.

Cute.

I naturally have really light blue eyes. It’ll be disappointing when/if a lot of people have this done and blue eyes aren’t special anymore. If I didn’t already have blue eyes, I still would never consider doing this. I don’t see how it can possibly be mostly safe. If you want a different color so badly, why not just wear colored contacts? Most people will never be satisfied with what they have, even after changing it.

I will do it if it comes out here in America!

If anything, I’d prefer to change my hazel eyes to all green.  That would be so much better.  I’m not really a fan of blue eyes.  But green, now I could go for that.

That’s FUCKED up.
You’re born with what you’re born with.
Accept it, or cut them out.
Change color..
so you can look more like me? Someone with blue eyes? You’re SO envious of blue / green eyes.. then you must not really like yourself much.
I think it’s pretty dumb. and fucked. I don’t think someone should be able to BUY what god blessed me with naturally.. wtf!!!!!

People are taking this too seriously. Don’t like it? Don’t get it done. It’s just an eye colour and I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal, honestly.

Great, another operation has been made available to make people feel like they need to fit into a shallow stereotype of beauty. 

Why would I ever want to change my eyes?  They set me apart from almost everyone.  Most would think them brown at a quick glance, but the myriad of color in them is rare.  The outer rim of the iris is a distinct gray which fades to blue-gray and then a hazel-green with darker flecks and finally brown just around the pupil.  I think that those behind this procedure greatly over-estimate the willingness of people to make the permanent change, especially when special contact lenses could do the trick for cheaper and would be easily reversible.  Further, if I’m wrong and a great number of people do rush out to make the change, it will make those with the “rarer” dark eyes more attractive by default because then they would look more ‘exotic’.   Now, obviously, in some regions where there are no blue eyes, it could become a status symbol but even at that, I don’t see this as being nearly as big a hit as marketers may try and imply.

@wallerus@xanga - Don’t get me wrong, as I see where you are coming from, but IF the changing of eye color became commonplace, then wouldn’t it be far more akin to a person dying their hair or getting a tatoo?  …now if they had a way to cause hair to not lose its pigment, I think THAT would be a huge seller.

I think this is amazing ! I’ve always wanted blue eyes like my mom… but i’m not sure if I’d do this.. Kinda just want to accept what I have. But this is really cool!

@Itinvolvedwhippedcream@xanga - LAWLZ!!!!

I wonder how many people would actually do this. According to xanga, not many. I think most people feel colored contacts are good enough for that.

Be happy w/ what you have. People are finding an easy way out of everything, is anything real anymore?  Unbelievable. Nothin’ wrong w/ brown eyes.   

My boyfriend likes taking pictures of my eyes because they go from red closest to the pupil, to yellow/green/blue with a purple ring My eyes look really, really dark sometimes though. But mostly bright green with gray/orange rings. They seem to lighten up a lot the older I get; they used to be brown, now they’re the same lightness of green my brother/sister’s eyes are blue.

Eyes are so cool. Every one is different, with different patterns and shades. It would be horrible for people to start changing their eye colour of all things, something so naturally beautiful. When will we leave ourselves alone??

I have green eyes. I’d never change them, they’re the rarest color.

LOL This is such a slap in the face to people with dark eyes.

I think it’d be awesome if this is just a baby step to changing to any color a person wanted. I don’t think this is real, but it’d also be cool if somebody invented eye drops that gave you a new eye color for 24 hours I understand there’s color contacts, but with them on it’s still not that exact color, know what I mean? 

This is interesting… Tempting… but would probably be regretable.
When I read the title, I was reminded of how Hitler would try to change people’s eye colors.

         If this procedure also fixed my vision, I’d totally cough up the 5 grand.

I have hazel / olive green eyes. I’d do it if I could make them more green. Not sure I’d look good with blue.

Change my green eyes blue! D:

No thank you, I find dark eyes mysterious!

I’m sure Hitler would’ve loved this back in the day.

Anyways, watch someone get this and then something messes with their vision.

Fuck him. Blue eyes are cold and listless. Brown eyes are beautiful, mysterious, and deep. All the stupid fad-whores can go and change their eye colors, and I’ll be the last one left with beautiful deep eyes, and they’ll all be jealous in 2 months when they change their minds.

@mycontinuity@xanga - Two blue-eyed (or green/hazel-eyed) parents having a brown-eyed child is virtually impossible since blue eyes are a very recessive gene and brown is dominant. The same I believe is true to some extent for skin color, though it’s more complicated.

@misslei11@xanga - I much prefer green eyes>blue. Blue eyes look so rude to me. LEAVE EM!

Why are so many people saying blue eyes are “special” or “rare”? They’re really quite common, I see blue eyes just as much as I see brown eyes. Green eyes are more special, in my opinion. I would kill for natural green eyes, but I wouldn’t want to do it like this. If I was born with green eyes, I would love them. But I was born with brown eyes, and brown eyes are what I’m going to keep.

Besides, brown eyes can pull off any color of eyeshadow.

@OstentatiousEloquence@xanga - That is the norm, but it DOES happen and is not impossible.

@mycontinuity@xanga - I mean, do you know anyone who has had that happen in their family (and you’re sure there’s no infidelity involved)? Many evolutionary psychologists think that blue eyes (in women) in part were a determinant for a blue-eyed man to at least be able to gauge his offspring’s looks- like if the baby had brown eyes, and both of them had blue, it was probably not his. Blue-eyed men are also said to prefer blue-eyed women for this reason, though non-blue-eyed men don’t appear to have a preference.

I remember reading about a light-eyed couple who had a brown-eyed child, and it was considered a freak occurence.

i would love more. something like that which would fix my vision without invasive surgery.

My eyes are already a very pretty light blue. 

I have green eyes, so neither can I change my eyes (not even with contacts) nor can (at this time) anyone permanently change to green.  Thank God us green eyers are safe!  I like the coloir of my eyes, I’d drive a car this color!  Or wear shirts this color.  lol 

I love brown eyes.  They are warm and comforting to me.  Sad people would want to change them.

I think it is sad that we all want to demand beauty.  It seriously takes away what beauty is… beauty is a gift from God (like other gifts) and not everyone got that gift and that is okay! 

@Itinvolvedwhippedcream@xanga - lol No kidding, though!

As much as I want to change my eye color…I like my brown eyes! I’m a redhead, so my eyes, although brown, seem brightened and almost match my hair color…Plus…Most “gingers” don’t have brown eyes! I feel pretty unique!

I LOVE green eyes, but if I changed my naturally brown ones, I would consider green eyes less of a novelty. Plus, I kind of like being a brown-eyed girl.

I live in Russia… EVERYONE here has blue/green eyes. I’m sick of them. Brown rules.

I like my green eyes, but if they had a procedure to make them even more green I’d try it.

I have green eyes and I love what I have. Out of my mom, three brothers, and my father, me and my dad are the only two with green eyes. My brothers all have green eyes, and my twin brother has that enviable dark brown hair and bright blue eyes combo. I like my eyes because they remind me of my dad. I wouldn’t want to change that, but my dad’s father swears his eyes changed from green to blue as he got older (like, after fifty or so.)

thats kinda cool. Thought I wonder what the long term effects would be. I’ll stick with my plain brown eyes

Wow. Some Of you totally took that the wrong way. All I was trying to say was to love who you are. And eye surgery because you can’t see is not the same as having surgery to change your eye color

@wallerus@xanga -  i totally understand what u mean its just like when people with a jacked up smile get braces its pretty annoying that they are false advertising the straight teeth gene and they dont have straight teeth…. but i also wonder if its bc i have naturally straight teeth and bc that makes me special i dont want anyone else to have it. i would love to have blue eyes but mine are hazel id probly get the surgery if it was 100% safe.

@armsraceofsound@xanga - shut the fuck up

I don’t want blue eyes, I just wanna be able to see my pupil :/

that is so true ….i want to change my eyes(whitch are dark brown) to blue too but if every one is going to have blue eyes then i mite as well keep mine brown to be unique and the natural ME.@SpOnTaNeOuS_sPiTbAlL@xanga - 

I HAVE BLACK EYES, I WANT BLUE OR GREEN EYES, IT IS POSSIBLE ? WHAT IS COST IN PAKISTAN.
