Can Nevus of ota inside the eye be treated similar to brown spots inside the white part of the eye?

I have an eye condition called blue sclera/nevus of ota since birth (There are too many names for it). My left eye condition is exactly the same as this image:

http://akimichi.homeunix.net/~emile/aki/html/medical/Image/blue-sclera-1.jpeg

My eyes are actually quite healthy and I have 20/20 vision. I don’t have any of the following symptoms
• Pseudoxanthoma elasticum  
• Osteogenesis imperfecta
• Ehlers-danlos syndrome
• Marfan's syndrome

I was wondering can nevus of ota inside the eye be treated similar to brown spot inside the eye eg: under some sort of eye surgery to regain the white part of the eye again, if so how much do they normally cost?

I do not know what scleral painting is. Scleral allograph is taking white stuff (sclera) from a dead person, preparing and sterilizing it then sewing it on the outside of the eye.

what about using a less invasive method like wearing custom made scleral contact lenses that would cover the white of your eye where it needs to be covere? that might be the best option for you for now.

I've tried googling around for some of those contact lenses you’ve been talking about, but Im not sure if they are safe to use on daily bases.  Are they are the ones that you are talking about?  See link:

Im worried that they are not properly tested so its going to make my eye even worst…

I am a white female of thirty-seven and have the same condition. I have asked several eye doctors about cosmetic procedures. They don't seem to exist here in the states. I have
read about procedures in certain parts of Asia but it is difficult to talk to anyone due to the language barrier. If you find any new information, let me know!
