 Blue eyes are a recessive trait, but even if your parents are carriers there’s no way of knowing what shade, if any, lies at the bottom of the iris. That said, Dr. Shavers isn’t all that surprised by the procedure or that people are taking an interest in it. “When it comes to vanity there’s nothing you wouldn’t put  past the human condition,” she said.

Bottom line: Dr. Shavers doesn’t believe the procedure is worth it and she’d never consider performing it herself. “Colored contact lenses would be far less risky. You wont have any potential side effects and it will guarantee the color.”
