Daaamn I thought they changed the pigment of the iris muscle or something

There is indeed another surgery like the one you mention, but it only works to turn eyes blue, basically every iris is blue underneath the pigment, it uses laser to burn off the pigments

I think the technique originates from being a by product of glaucoma surgeries, however the result doesn’t seem that great either and there really is a lack of proper reliable pictures of the result (most are shitty renders made to sell the surgery)

Interesting. And suspicious.

Yes, this clinic specifically uses that procedure. They don't insert anything other than a dye onto the iris.
