Have you ever wished you had blue eyes? Now you can!

I saw this late last night, and was incredulous. I wonder if there are any long-term side effects (like affecting your vision) that hasn't been seen yet. Would you want to change yours if you could?

What Can't Lasers Do? One Inventor Claims They Can Change Your Eye Color

A doctor in Laguna Beach, California, has developed a method for permanently transforming brown eyes to blue, using a laser to destroy brown pigments in the iris. After the procedure, which reportedly takes less than a minute, the eyes will gradually change color over a two- to three-week period, as the destroyed melanin is slowly shed, revealing the blue color the melanin had concealed. The above picture shows someone who has had the treatment on just the eye's lower portion.

Gregg Homer, who first filed a patent on the procedure in 2001, told KTLA news in Los Angeles that he expects it to become available in the United States in about three years and to cost around $5,000.
