A
Abstract:
To provide change of an eye color by gene transduction.SOLUTION: A person's iris color can be lightened, e.g., from brown to lighter brown, green, hazel or blue, by introducing a melanocyte-killing agent through the cornea of the person's eye and contacting the anterior surface of the iris with the agent at a dose sufficient to kill melanocytes in the iris stroma.
