A quick surgical procedure can permanently change your eye color, but experts warn it's not without risk

When he was a child in Thailand, Jack Titus dreamed of becoming an American. After fulfilling that dream, he developed a desire to change his eye color to look more like an American. He discovered a surgery that could permanently lighten his eyes. Although his family was initially concerned about the risks, Titus went through with the procedure. This type of surgery has gained popularity in the United States due to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The surgery involves injecting pigment into the cornea to hide the original color of the iris, and it is not reversible. Some doctors warn of potential complications and vision loss associated with these procedures. Despite the risks, Titus is happy with the outcome and feels more like himself.
