Question
I know that there is a pigment called lipochrome that gives a yellow hue to eyes.
COuld that be injected into the iris to make brown eyes look gold?

Answer
Dear SANADUST,
Thanks for asking such elaborate and interesting question which involves cosmetic changes to a person
see there is lots of developments taking place in terms of changing the iris colour with pigmented lenses or pigments devised to change the iris colour but one doesnt knwo long term efects in terms of catarct developmentor chronic inflammation to the eyes so its safer as of nwo to stick to coloured contact lenses which are safer than these so called invasive procedures
 
If you any further questions please revert back to me  
Thanking you
