A doctor has apparently developed a technique to destroy the dark pigment in brown eyed people who want blue eyes and wants to take his procedure to the masses:

I have blue eyes, my preference for eye color has more to do with shape of the eyes and size of the iris, not so much the color.

Beady eyes or buggy eyes that bulge out, or eyes that are too widely spaced are probably less appealing objectively in Western
standards for vanity no matter what the color. However, blue eyes are also a highly esteemed beauty standard, especially because of Hollywood, so I can see what the motivation is.

I'm sure this procedure will be hugely popular in Miami if it gets FDA approval. rolleyes

No doubt people will go for it. I see a lot of Asian women wearing false colored contacts, the result is very odd looking colored eyes.

However, if more people did it, it may kind of defeat the premise of what people think is unusual or desirable about them. The visible blue color in the pic above doesn't look good to me- the eye looks old or faded or something. If that's what people want, I don't understand it.

This could become very popular in Asia. But will it affect retinal scan?

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

And so it starts, first they take away the dark pigment in brown eyes, how long before they start taking brown people darkness ?

It will look just stupid and wrong... I remember very often in Brasil, when I visited, doing a double take when I saw "strange-looking" blue-eyed girls... - Contact lenses every time.
