The procedure is non-invasive and uncovers a different eye color that's naturally there but was covered because of high melanin production in the eyes as one's body developed. You can't choose your eye color because you're just uncovering what's hidden. Is this procedure haram? Or is it similar to the permissibility of a hair transplant procedure where you're restoring hair that was previously there? Would it be different because getting a hair transplant doesn't impact your health?\\n\"}]}","answer":"This procedure would not be permissible. The current eye color is there naturally and it is not considered a defect.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327ba","tag":"Women: Beauty","count":54},{"_id":"686bff2f5bca77ccedff912f","tag":"Health: Medical Procedures & Surgery","count":19}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:53.565Z"}
