What Is BrightOcular? - This surgery replaces your eye’s iris — where the color lives — with an intraocular implant of a different color. Traditionally, this procedure has been used for people with albinoism or who have iris damage, but now this surgery is being advertised as a cosmetic procedure for those who want to permanently change their eye color. (Photo: Bernd Vogel/Corbis)

How Does It Work? - The surgeon inserts a thin, medical grade silicone implant into the eye through a 2.8mm incision in the cornea. However, it is possible to remove the implants if they are causing too many problems. (Photo: JACOPIN / BSIP/Corbis)

How Much Does It Cost? - The BrightOcular website is very vague about procedure costs, but a 2013 New York Times article estimated that it could cost $5,500 and up. FYI: It’s a cosmetic procedure, so health insurance will not cover it. (Photo: DNY59/Getty Images)

What Are the Risks? - Some side effects include eye infections, sensitivity to light and inflammation, among other complications. Also, according to The Grio, past studies have shown that iris implant surgeries like this one increase a person’s risk of blindness, glaucoma, scarring of the cornea and the development of cataracts.

Is It Worth It? - Obviously, the choice is up to you if you want to endure this procedure. But it’s important to know that this surgery is not FDA-approved. So choose wisely and also consider that you if you want to try a new eye color, you can try colored contacts first. (Photo: Safia Fatimi/Getty Images)
