Summary
Ayşegül Kolvert, 35, underwent a cosmetic procedure in Paris to change her eyes from brown to green, with pistachio-green mineral pigment injected into her cornea.
Dr. Francis Ferrari’s FLAAK technique uses a femtosecond laser to create a circular corneal incision, then places pigment in front of the iris to mask its natural color rather than alter it.
New Eyes Paris says more than 2,500 people have sought the surgery, often after finding the clinic on social media and arranging initial consultations over Instagram and Zoom.
Kolvert traveled from Grenoble for the operation, saying she had long wanted green eyes and was tired of relying on contact lenses.
