I Had A Surgery In Panama To Change My Eye Colour, But Ended Up Blind

A student, Shenise Farrell from London was left temporarily blind after surgery to change the colour of her eyes.

Shenise Farrell travelled to Panama, in Central America, for the unregulated procedure to change her eye colour from dark brown to light brown.
She spent £8,000 on the operation but it went wrong and she was almost left permanently blind.

Ms Farrell decided in 2009 that she wanted to change the colour of her eyes and so she began researching surgical options.
Despite her family’s horror, she travelled to Panama to have a procedure which involved implanting coloured discs – like a contact lenses – into her eyes.
According to Ms Farrell ‘I was so determined to get the surgery nothing rang alarm bells for me – nothing obvious.’
When Ms Farrell arrived at the clinic in Panama, she was told that she could not have the light brown implants as they were out of stock.
As a result, the surgeon informed her that she would be given blue implants instead. Despite this not being her original intention, she decided to go ahead with the operation.
Ms Farrell says that during the procedure she screamed and the surgeon told her not to scream as it ‘could cause things to go wrong’.
To her huge shock, at the end of the 20 minute procedure, Ms Farrell realised she couldn’t see properly.
