Can't say I'd be doing it after reading their site..
do you feel its to risky ?
The list of possible complications seems a little long for what they claim is a fairly straightforward procedure.
And I wasn't all that impressed with their pics either.
No thanks, I will pass. I will take my eyes and eye color as they are.

It might even happen spontaneously, although probably not as dramatically as that.
My eyes have always subltly changed colour spontaneously in response to hormone levels. When I was a child they were definitely green, as I went through puberty they became first dark brown, and then when I started HRH in my early twenties they became a hazel green, and although this is self observation, and therefore highly unscientific, I notice the shade seems to vary in line with my titrated levels.
(Being a curious type, I have mostly done my own bloodwork and titrations over the last three decades, though under the loose supervision of a GP, so I have indeed got data on this, but without doing a randomised control trial or cohort study, its not strong enough to draw any firm conclusion.)

You're not the only one. There are blogs, and there was a thread recently
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php?topic=159084.0
where quite a few people stated their eye colours changed.

I realize how less special my eyes will be getting in the future :S
I wouldn't change my eye color necessarily but if I could have a different color... it would greenish grey.. I'm color blind so I like everyone to see my eyes the color i can see.. My current eye color is hazel but it changes a lot.. sometimes they get really light.. and look green.. but I can't see these things.. so I believe my mom haha
I'd rather stick to my green contacts on the days I don't care for brown.
TBH - Most of the photos look like something out of a Sci-Fi movie :o
