If done correctly without any mistakes, what are the risks of the 'bright ocular' surgery (http://www.brightocular.com/)? thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
New procedure: Iris implants in general have risks: glaucoma, iritis, iris atrophy. The manufacturers claim to have overcome these problems. Time will tell. Unable to find any good objective data yet. The company is taking money from test subjects who pay and using it to test the implant on poor patients with aniridia or iris trauma, so there should be data available soon. I advise you to wait.
