COSMETIC IRIS COLOR IMPLANTS BLIND OFTEN

[John C Hagan III, MD, FACS, FAAO]

One of the most prestigious eye medical journals in the world this month had a series of about 26 individuals that had gone to Panama and had cosmetic iris implants put in the inside of their eye to change the color. These individuals all developed blinding diseases such as glaucoma, uveitis, corneal decompensation and bleeding in the eye (hyphema). These implants NewColorIris implants (Kahn Medical Devices), developed in 2004, ARE TO BE AVOIDED IN ALL CASES. IT'S AS BAD AS PUTTING A LIT FIRECRACKER IN YOUR EYE.

It sickens me as an eye surgeon that anyone would put these cosmetic devices in peoples eyes under false pretenses and just for profit.

No the artifical intraocular implants designed to replace the iris or huge tears in the iris in cases of severe trauma or a disease called aniridea have been fully tested and approved and are totally different.

Is this the same thing as having an artificial iris lens implanted for Mydriasis?
