Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02062259A2] A method for altering iris pigment in a human or animal, thereby altering iris color of an iris from a first iris color to a second iris color. The method comprises selecting one or more than one laser capable of generating one or more than one laser beam that will remove iris pigment of at least two different iris pigment colors from the iris and applying the one or more than one laser beam to the iris of a first iris color to remove the iris pigment. Removal of the iris pigment causes an alteration in the color of the first iris from the first iris color to the second iris color, where either the second iris color is both a different hue and less saturated than the first iris color, or where the second iris color is both a different hue and less saturated than the first iris color.
