Cornea specialist Melissa Daluvoy, MD was featured in a recent USA Today article discussing the dangers of a new cosmetic trend - eye color surgery. According to the article, these eye color change procedures, none of which are FDA-approved, carry with them risks that include severe light sensitivity, glaucoma, cataracts, corneal disease, vision loss and blindness.
“Coming from someone who spends their life trying to restore vision and give people their sight back, it seems cavalier and somewhat silly to me to take on the risk where you could permanently damage your vision, I would advise any of my patients to really think long and hard if the risks are worth the benefits.” - Melissa Daluvoy, MD
