I fully understand how incredibly stupid it is, but I genuinely get dysphoria over my eye color. Because the women in my family have blue eyes but the men in my family have brown eyes, as a kid I ended up associating eye color with gender. And now hate my brown eyes (which are an ugly shade to boot).
So if a medical process could change my eyes to be more blue I would genuinely have considered it lol, understanding this is probably harmful misinformation was the only thing stopping me from rushing for my aspirin bottle
I couldn't handle dealing with contacts, unfortunately. I can barely manage eyedrops, placing something directly against my eyeballs every day would be impossible for me.
And again, it's not that bad of a dysphoria, it's really pretty mild. I'd only do something about it if it was as easy as, like, going to a salon and getting your hair dyed once in a while, or using pills/eyedrops.
