I had some time on my hands the other day and found several interesting articles/videos discussing aniridia and the possibility of having surgery to implant irises. I'm posting all this not because I think Iris should get iris implants
necessarily, but because I'm hopeful that when the time comes for us to
make decisions about what to do with her eye care we will have some
legitimate options open to us.
Iris implants are controversial. Below are a selection of videos from the TV show The Drs about a young woman who had iris implants to help correct her aniridia.
The first video is her backstory
The second video shows a lot of yucky eye surgery stuff.
Third video shows the good outcome of the surgery.
Here's another story about a teenage boy who had similar surgery done. And finally, here's a New York Times article about how risky it is to have iris implants done for cosmetic reasons.
