Question
Dear Dr. Manu Rajnani, I read your comment/response on there being a medical procedure to change eye color. Your answer was........

"YES there is one lens which has been developed which is put inside the eyes over the black iris which can help change eye color but long term problems are not known yet so its always safer to go in for colored contact lenses till this is approved by FDA and also we come to know of long term problems with newer technologie"
 
Can you tell me where I may recieve such a treatment, and approximately how much it would cost to get this procedure done? I understand that it is not yet approved by the FDA, but that cannot be in all countries correct? and even if it is not FDA approvated, I am willing to get this done under a volunteer clinical research company.  Please let me know what you think! thanks Dr. Rajnani!
