A Response from Stroma
Hi,
I'm the founder of Stroma and the inventor of its laser eye color procedure. I just had to weigh in here. First, I think brown eyes are beautiful. Stroma's goal is simply to offer an option to those consumers who might want it. Second, the Dr. Mengele analogy is hurtful. My father, a Jew, was awarded the Bronze Star for his brave fight against the Nazi's in WWI, and I'm proud of his work and commitment. Finally, we appreciate (and share) the cautiousness of both physicians and the press regarding safety, but with that caution has come some misinformation about the risk of glaucoma associated with our procedure. To help clarify the issue, we've posted a paper at www.stromamedical.com/Public_Papers/Glaucoma.pdf. And rest assured, we will not release our product unless and until it has been extensively tested, and our internal board of physicians are satisfied that it is safe.
Best,
Gregg Homer, JSD (PhD)
