I'm sure a few people must have seen the tale of a   single mum from  London who  wanted to have blue eyes. She travelled to South America for an operation . Needless to say the NHS had to sort her out when she got back. The Richard Littlejohns of this world had a field day asking how an unemployed ( she's training to be a social worker) single mum of three can afford private cosmetic surgery ( she's already had a boob job in Bulgaria). and why the taxpayer  is left to pick up the tab when it all goes wrong.

Tucked away in the story was the fact that her optician has urged her not to undergo the operation.

Scariest of all is the fact that a website offering just such a procedure  is online. It boast:

What is NewColorIris?
NewColorIris
is an intraocular implant that improves the ocular appearance of patients with partial coloboma (congenital defects of the iris), traumatic irides, ocular albinism, iris heterochromia and to consumers that without any ocular pathology wish to change the color of their eyes with a natural appearance and without the limitations, risks and annoyances of contact lenses.

 The web makes the world a small place and your patients are watching.
