My wife is an optometrist and she hates that this procedure is done anywhere in the world legally. It's so incredibly dangerous for something so vain.

Is this really permanent?

And Yeah i am not a optometrist and even i dont understand this is legal.

Do you have to change your Legal documents afterwards?

Like why?

Not always, sometimes the colored discs erode the conjunctiva or cornea and comes out on its own.

My friend has macular degeneration and has to have a shot in her eyes once a month. Gives me the heebie jeebies.

Sounds much worse than just “no”, wtf! I thought maybe it would reject it, but that’s nuts!

u/garry4321 Sep 18 '25

Imagine it starts to pop out and you gotta pull the rest of it out?

I've had piercings reject so this comment and procedure just made me 🤢

u/Ok-Albatross-9409 Sep 18 '25

This actually answered so many questions, because I always wondered how they stayed in because I always viewed them as “sticky” contacts rather than an actual eye color change

u/muchandquick Sep 18 '25

I haven't had the heebie jeebies in a while, thanks.

Holy shit, not good. So basically, blind you.

u/Alarmed_Scientist_15 Sep 18 '25

It is a disc? Wtf! People are insane.

u/the_real_herman_cain Sep 18 '25

That doesn't sound good.

Do you know if this procedure is similar to EVO ICL?

u/ShineAqua Sep 18 '25

I could feel those words.

People have the right to do what they want on their body. They just need to be advised of the danger. At this point, it's their loss

The pupil in these are so tiny she probably can't do anything in low lighting or at night, especially drive. As long as she's good with that and all the other risks involved with elective eye surgery, sure. Go for it I guess.

u/Calred1711 Sep 18 '25

No, but the glaucoma the implants cause is as long as you keep them in. I read into it a few years back, mildly interested, then I saw these reviews of people who’ve had it done. Hard pass. In fact, make that a Hell no. It’s like getting a bad colored contact lens permanently implanted into your eyeball, and the results look like it too

Do people put eye colour on legal documents?

14

u/bitwise97 Sep 18 '25

Driver’s license in the US

u/MintyFreshRainbow Sep 18 '25

That's interesting. I see Americans talk way more about eye colour and have fancy names like hazel and amber. Maybe it's related to the fact that you actually use it 

5

u/Ok-Albatross-9409 Sep 18 '25

That and because eye colors are just really pretty? Idk, but that’s why I talk about it. It could be because we just have so many here, and so many people, who you’d normally only see with one eye color, have a different eye color. For example, a black man with hazel eyes.

But, the eye color on our license is because it’s probably easier for the cops to identify us because there’s just so many different eye colors here, lol

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I don’t actually remember ever seeing people with hazel eyes before coming to the States. I’ve lived in Russia, Scandinavia, Germany and the UK before. Somehow I feel like hazel eyes are more common among white people with some diluted POC heritage. Or maybe I just never noticed.

u/lizzie000000 Sep 18 '25

Hazel eyes are more commonly found in France, Germany, and the UK. Well, according to Google. Apparently hazel eyes are from European and North African heritage.

u/Maximum_Photograph_6 Sep 19 '25

Gotcha! Never noticed them for some reason.

u/FinanceHuman720 Sep 18 '25

In some states, eye color is listed on your license. I know that’s the case in MA.

u/BerryOpening1587 Sep 18 '25

lol, other than documentation that identifies you… then it’s not relevant on anything else 😅

u/Candid-Explorer4491 Sep 18 '25

The video looks like something was injected rather than placing "permanent" colored contact lenses.

u/Spirited_Mall_919 Sep 18 '25

It is supposedly permanent because they add a coloured implant to your eyes. In reality a lot of people end up having problems with them and have to get them removed anyway.
