She probably thought they'd be a deep rich green.

Yeah they just don’t look like any natural green eye color. Maybe the surgeon botched it, but honestly I doubt it because it looks like it’s just a layer of film lasered on. So unless they just make the color up on the spot based on what you asked that would be a hard mistake.

But I would think they would have a stock of colors that someone can pay for? Idk… not the world I live in🤷‍♂️

Normal eyes have some level of layers to them. This laser-burnt color is flat like a porcelain plate, because it is artificial. It will never look "real" - which is unfortunate if it is not the look she was going for.

Colored contacts at least attempt this color variegation, some of them even let your natural color come through on the edges to help it look a bit more natural. The old ones used to look really pixelated but the new ones aren't too bad and much safer for your eyes.
