Ever wished you were the blue-eyed boy? You soon could be, after a doctor revealed he can permanently change a person's eye colour in just 20 seconds.

據英國《每日郵報》11月2日報道，你曾經夢想擁有一雙藍眼睛嗎?這個愿望很快就能實現。一位美國醫生聲稱只需20秒他就能讓人的眼珠永久的改變顏色。

Dr Gregg Homer, from Stroma Medical in California said his Lumineyes technology uses a laser tuned to a specific frequency to turn brown eyes to blue.

來自美國加利福尼亞基質醫療所的卡爾格雷格-荷馬醫生稱他的Lumineyes技術可以利用調整到特殊頻率的激光把棕色眼珠變藍。

The laser energy removes the brown pigment, or melanin, from the top layer of the iris, and the blue eye colour emerges over the following two to three weeks.

激光能去除眼球虹膜最外層的棕色素或黑色素，而藍眼珠會在兩到三周之后顯現。

It would provide an alternative to those who wanted lighter eyes without resorting to cosmetic contact lenses.

該技術將給那些想要讓眼珠顏色變淺但又不想借助于美瞳的人提供了另一種選擇。

However the procedure - which Dr Homer has developed over 10 years - is irreversible because the brown tissue cannot regenerate.

然而這項荷馬醫生用超過十年時間研究出來的眼珠變色的過程是不可逆轉的，因為眼球外層的棕色薄膜無法再生。

Stroma Medical has started limited human testing but is seeking up to £500,000 to complete clinical trials.

基質醫療已經開始了有限的人體試驗，但正在尋求高達50萬英鎊(約504萬人民幣)的資金支持來完成臨床試驗。

If all goes to plan Dr Homer says the procedure could be available outside the U.S within 18 months and inside the U.S in three years.

如果一切能按計劃進行的話，據荷馬醫生說該治療在18個月內就能在美國國外使用，而在美國投入使用需要3年時間。

The former entertainment lawyer said the operation would cost around £3,000.

一位前任娛樂律師說該手術的花費將會在3千英鎊(約30278人民幣)左右。

Dr Homer told KTLA Morning News that thousands of prospective clients had contacted him by email to express their interest.

荷馬醫生告訴洛杉磯晨報記者，已經有上千名潛在客戶給他發過郵件表達了自己的治療意愿。
