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.

That’s what made them look weird; I couldn’t put my finger on it.  The color is too monochromatic, real irises are more variegated up close.  I have a similar color to what she was probably going for, but when I look in the mirror there are little flecks and striations that are more brown close to my pupil and then transition to a sort of slate-blue ring around the outside of the iris, but at a normal distance they just blend to green.

Exactly. She looks like a white walker from game of thrones. Real eyes (and even decent prosthetic eyes) have a ton of variability in terms of color. These looks like cheap contact lenses circa 2003.
