你敢試試嗎? 新激光手術20秒可讓眼珠變藍色!

A company from California, the US, has introduced a new medical procedure, which can turn brown eyes blue.

近日，美國加利福尼亞州的一家公司引進一項新手術，可將棕色眼睛變成藍色眼睛。

The laser procedure works by eliminating the melanin from the surface of the iris, which then allows light to enter and scatter in the stroma.

這項激光手術通過消除虹膜表面的黑色素，讓光線得以進入虹膜，分散在基質上，從而使眼睛呈現出藍色。

The effect is similar to Rayleigh scattering, in which wavelengths of sunlight hit much smaller molecules in the air and then scatter, which makes the atmosphere appear blue.

其效果與“瑞利散射”類似，即陽光的波長碰撞空氣中較小的分子散射開來，使得大氣呈現藍色。

The laser treatment disrupts the fragile layer of pigment on the iris, which causes the body to start removing the tissue naturally.

激光手術破壞了虹膜上纖巧的色素層，使得人體自然地消除掉這些組織。

While the procedure itself only takes around 20 seconds, the blue eyes do not emerge for several weeks, as the body can only gradually release the pigment.

儘管手術本身僅需20秒左右，但要經過好幾個禮拜眼睛纔會變成藍色，因爲人體只能逐漸地釋放那些色素。

Stroma Medical is currently in the fundraising stage as it searches for investors, but hopes to have completed clinical trials within a few years.

由於基質醫學公司正在尋找投資人，目前該公司正處於融資階段。不過這家公司希望能夠在幾年內完成臨牀試驗。

Currently, the price to change brown eyes blue stands at a relatively high amount of $5,000.

目前，將棕色眼睛變成藍色眼睛的費用相對較高，需5000美元。
