I have a video of me doing it if you wanna see that

Can u please send a vid of u doing it cause I wanna know exactly how to do it

bro I been trying to do this but it hurts holy shit ehren really did anything to look better

 

[Deleted member 80642]

Okay well u can do the protocol and take pictures unfrauded every 2 weeks or something and then make another thread if there are or aren’t any changes.

I’m not hopeful at all that this would work but if u wanna try it, document it and test your theory.

Repped for effort

Introduction​

I’m a darkeyecel, and I’ve been looking for methods to brighten my eyes.
I’ve been searching through BotB, but the only thread about eye color changing is this one by @Alexanderr https://looksmax.org/threads/stroma-eye-color-change-explained-mega-thread.228789/ it’s pretty good with covering the sciences behind eye color, but I’ll also explain the necessary information in this thread.

The main issue I have with that BotB thread is that it only covers options that I can’t afford
The only option I thought I had was wearing color contacts, but I’ve done some research and there’s another method.

This method could be the holy grail for darkeyecels: PDS - Pigment Dispersion Syndrome
PDS isn’t new, but it’s been cast aside as “not researched” or “high risk, no reward” so there’s no BotB threads on it, and very little information about it on here.
TLDR: New FREE method for lightening eyes (PDS) with very little info about it on org, is talked about in this thread.

Why Are Irises Dark?​

Dark Irises are caused by one thing: Melanin
Found in skin, hair, and most importantly: Irises

There are different types, but the most relevant type of melanin to this thread is Eumelanin

Eumelanin:

• Two types: black eumelanin and brown eumelanin, most people have varying amounts of both
• Black hair means more black eumelanin, brown hair means more brown eumelanin

• Blonde hair is caused by no black eumelanin and a small amount of brown eumelanin
• This explains why blonde hair often comes with blue eyes: low eumelanin

Another type is Pheomelanin, which isn’t as important, but still feels a little relevant and is worth mentioning. Pheomelanin is common in green and hazel eyes. Just another obstacle to get to your blue eyes


Importance of Melanin
Eye color isn’t a direct gene. You don’t just get the “Blue eye gene” or “green eye gene” from your parents. The gene only determines eumelanin and pheomelanin levels. Meaning that if you change the eumelanin or pheomelanin levels you store, your eyes will be lighter.

Brown eyes and black eyes have the potential to be green or blue, no matter what.

The goal of getting brighter irises is to strip the melanin from the Iris pigment epithelium


Iris pigment epithelium
It’s the colored part of the iris. Contains the melanin and chromatophores that make up the eye color.
View attachment 4671392 If you’re concerned about chromatophores affecting eye color, they only very slightly affect the shade depending on how light your environment is. If you stare into the sun, then your bright blue eyes turn to medium blue eyes. Not that important to the thread.

HOLY GRAIL: Pigment Dispersion Syndrome (PDS)​

PDS is defined as a condition characterized by the release of melanin granules from the iris pigment epithelium due to friction between the iris and zonular lenticular structures, potentially leading to trabecular dysfunction and increased ocular pressure, which can result in pigmentary glaucoma.

This is what Ehren used to brighten his eyes, and it obviously worked miracles for him.
View attachment 4671391View attachment 4671393

PDS has often been cast aside for being underresearched or too dangerous, but this isn’t actually that true.
PDS is a well-studied syndrome, so obviously its affects are well studied too.

RISK
PDS can cause the anterior hyaloid, which normally adheres firmly to the posterior lens capsule by the hyaloideocapsular ligament of Weiger, can detach following blunt trauma.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2907041/#:~:text=Abstract,Berger's%20from%20the%20posterior%20chamber.&text=Blunt%20ocular%20trauma%20results%20in,patient%20with%20bilateral%20pigment%20dispersion.

This causes PVD.
Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD), involves the vitreous gel separating from its attachments at the front of the eye (posterior lens capsule) and back of the eye (retina). While PVD is common, especially in people over 50, it can lead to serious, vision-threatening complications if the vitreous pulls too hard on the retina.

In most cases (about 85%), PVD happens without causing serious, permanent vision loss, but it creates noticeable, annoying symptoms that often subside after a few months.

Sudden Increase in Floaters: You may see "squiggles," "dots," or a "ring" (known as a Weiss ring) floating in your vision.
Flashes of Light: You might see lightning-like streaks, usually in your peripheral (side) vision, caused by the vitreous tugging on the retina.
https://www.iowaretina.com/common-eye-disorders/pvd/#:~:text=Many people who develop PVD,be visible to the patient.

If you notice either of these symptoms after making use of PDS over a long time, consult a doctor. Now it’s clear that since this is the main side effect, PDS is actually pretty safe.

HOW TO INDUCE PDS​

The mechanisms behind the formation of PDS are due to the constant rubbing and friction between pigment iris epithelium and lens structures during pupil movements, which tend to occur in the presence of reverse pupillary block and posterior bowing of the iris
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9741933/#:~:text=Reverse pupillary block can occur,, and PG [44].

So by pressing hard on your iris area and slightly moving your finger around, you can create friction between the PIE and lens structures.

This hasn’t been studied or practiced very well, but Ehren claimed that 5 minutes 2-3 times every day will be enough to efficiently render results. I am going to start PDS, and will document the results and effects

Sungazing is Cope (extra bit)​

Sun exposure doesn’t significantly change melanin content, so it won’t cause a noticeable shift in your base eye color.

Do Brown Eyes Get Lighter in the Sun?
Sunlight won’t lighten your brown eyes. You might notice flecks of gold or hazel that seem more prominent in bright light, but this is an illusion. Different lighting conditions can change how your eyes appear, but the actual pigment remains the same.

https://riversideoptometry.vision/can-the-sun-make-your-eyes-lighter/

PLEASE avoid sungazing, dangerous for zero reward, actually hurts progress as UV exposure promotes melanin, it doesn’t strip it.

Closing​

This is definitely the best guide I’ve ever made, please lmk any questions or advice. As far as I know, no thread has covered this in BotB. If you think this thread is worthy, please rep and bump

Obviously you could wear contacts, but that’s not permanent and embarrassing to be found out.
For other solutions that are probably less risky, check out the thread linked in the intro paragraph.

Thanks for reading!

ALso, any ideas on what to call PDS? bc the proper way to say it would be "inducing PDS", so should we give it a proper name? Iris pressing? ehren method? lmk

i will be doing this bro i have t40 eyes how light can i get them if i follow this guide

Don’t really know, no results have been documented from this method, but I’m doing it rn

 

[Deleted member 342829]

Don’t really know, no results have been documented from this method, but I’m doing it rn

ok brah thanks

 

[ogrecel67]

Eyes must be open. You need to make direct contact with the PIE, press just a little, then kind of try to move it around

It will obviously hurt, but if you can barely open your eyes don’t do it any more. It’s a little easier for me since I’m used to touching my eye for wearing contacts. Hurts a little more to make actual contact tho


I’m starting today, I’ll post a follow up thread once I start seeing results

I cited med studies in the guide, this is a well researched syndrome.

I’m curious to see ur results, it feels so weird to press my eyeball

 

[Deleted member 318558]

Don’t press too hard, but the iris should move without the pupil.

The friction is what loses melanin, not the surface touching

 

[Deleted member 80642]

Don’t really know, no results have been documented from this method, but I’m doing it rn

Surely in theory if this works which im still doubting, if you did it on one eye only you could kinda develop heterochromia? Would be a huge halo

Nah it would be insane. If I see results from u I will do it on one eye only.

Also if it somehow fucks with ur sight, then at least it’s only in one eye lol

I’ve been searching through BotB, but the only thread about eye color changing is this one by @Alexanderr https://looksmax.org/threads/stroma-eye-color-change-explained-mega-thread.228789/ it’s pretty good with covering the sciences behind eye color, but I’ll also explain the necessary information in this thread.

The main issue I have with that BotB thread is that it only covers options that I can’t afford
The only option I thought I had was wearing color contacts, but I’ve done some research and there’s another method.

This method could be the holy grail for darkeyecels: PDS - Pigment Dispersion Syndrome
PDS isn’t new, but it’s been cast aside as “not researched” or “high risk, no reward” so there’s no BotB threads on it, and very little information about it on here.
TLDR: New FREE method for lightening eyes (PDS) with very little info about it on org, is talked about in this thread.

Why Are Irises Dark?​

Dark Irises are caused by one thing: Melanin
Found in skin, hair, and most importantly: Irises

There are different types, but the most relevant type of melanin to this thread is Eumelanin

Eumelanin:

• Two types: black eumelanin and brown eumelanin, most people have varying amounts of both
• Black hair means more black eumelanin, brown hair means more brown eumelanin

• Blonde hair is caused by no black eumelanin and a small amount of brown eumelanin
• This explains why blonde hair often comes with blue eyes: low eumelanin

Another type is Pheomelanin, which isn’t as important, but still feels a little relevant and is worth mentioning. Pheomelanin is common in green and hazel eyes. Just another obstacle to get to your blue eyes


Importance of Melanin
Eye color isn’t a direct gene. You don’t just get the “Blue eye gene” or “green eye gene” from your parents. The gene only determines eumelanin and pheomelanin levels. Meaning that if you change the eumelanin or pheomelanin levels you store, your eyes will be lighter.

Brown eyes and black eyes have the potential to be green or blue, no matter what.

The goal of getting brighter irises is to strip the melanin from the Iris pigment epithelium


Iris pigment epithelium
It’s the colored part of the iris. Contains the melanin and chromatophores that make up the eye color.
View attachment 4671392 If you’re concerned about chromatophores affecting eye color, they only very slightly affect the shade depending on how light your environment is. If you stare into the sun, then your bright blue eyes turn to medium blue eyes. Not that important to the thread.

HOLY GRAIL: Pigment Dispersion Syndrome (PDS)​

PDS is defined as a condition characterized by the release of melanin granules from the iris pigment epithelium due to friction between the iris and zonular lenticular structures, potentially leading to trabecular dysfunction and increased ocular pressure, which can result in pigmentary glaucoma.

This is what Ehren used to brighten his eyes, and it obviously worked miracles for him.
View attachment 4671391View attachment 4671393

PDS has often been cast aside for being underresearched or too dangerous, but this isn’t actually that true.
PDS is a well-studied syndrome, so obviously its affects are well studied too.

RISK
PDS can cause the anterior hyaloid, which normally adheres firmly to the posterior lens capsule by the hyaloideocapsular ligament of Weiger, can detach following blunt trauma.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2907041/#:~:text=Abstract,Berger's%20from%20the%20posterior%20chamber.&text=Blunt%20ocular%20trauma%20results%20in,patient%20with%20bilateral%20pigment%20dispersion.

This causes PVD.
Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD), involves the vitreous gel separating from its attachments at the front of the eye (posterior lens capsule) and back of the eye (retina). While PVD is common, especially in people over 50, it can lead to serious, vision-threatening complications if the vitreous pulls too hard on the retina.

In most cases (about 85%), PVD happens without causing serious, permanent vision loss, but it creates noticeable, annoying symptoms that often subside after a few months.

Sudden Increase in Floaters: You may see "squiggles," "dots," or a "ring" (known as a Weiss ring) floating in your vision.
Flashes of Light: You might see lightning-like streaks, usually in your peripheral (side) vision, caused by the vitreous tugging on the retina.
https://www.iowaretina.com/common-eye-disorders/pvd/#:~:text=Many people who develop PVD,be visible to the patient.

If you notice either of these symptoms after making use of PDS over a long time, consult a doctor. Now it’s clear that since this is the main side effect, PDS is actually pretty safe.

HOW TO INDUCE PDS​

The mechanisms behind the formation of PDS are due to the constant rubbing and friction between pigment iris epithelium and lens structures during pupil movements, which tend to occur in the presence of reverse pupillary block and posterior bowing of the iris
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9741933/#:~:text=Reverse pupillary block can occur,, and PG [44].

So by pressing hard on your iris area and slightly moving your finger around, you can create friction between the PIE and lens structures.

This hasn’t been studied or practiced very well, but Ehren claimed that 5 minutes 2-3 times every day will be enough to efficiently render results. I am going to start PDS, and will document the results and effects

Sungazing is Cope (extra bit)​

Sun exposure doesn’t significantly change melanin content, so it won’t cause a noticeable shift in your base eye color.

Do Brown Eyes Get Lighter in the Sun?
Sunlight won’t lighten your brown eyes. You might notice flecks of gold or hazel that seem more prominent in bright light, but this is an illusion. Different lighting conditions can change how your eyes appear, but the actual pigment remains the same.

https://riversideoptometry.vision/can-the-sun-make-your-eyes-lighter/

PLEASE avoid sungazing, dangerous for zero reward, actually hurts progress as UV exposure promotes melanin, it doesn’t strip it.

Closing​

This is definitely the best guide I’ve ever made, please lmk any questions or advice. As far as I know, no thread has covered this in BotB. If you think this thread is worthy, please rep and bump

Obviously you could wear contacts, but that’s not permanent and embarrassing to be found out.
For other solutions that are probably less risky, check out the thread linked in the intro paragraph.

Thanks for reading!

ALso, any ideas on what to call PDS? bc the proper way to say it would be "inducing PDS", so should we give it a proper name? Iris pressing? ehren method? lmk

IMPORTANT NOTE

Checking your browser - reCAPTCHA

“In pigmented races, such as Asians, Africans, and people of color, pigment dispersion is highly dangerous for visual function due to high volume of pigment in the IPE layer of the iris.”

This article above refers to how mechanical friction between the posterior iris epithelium and zonules from iris configuration leads directly to pigment release in the anterior chamber which is the one you see

so what causes this rubbing?

1. Common in pds patients is iris bowing backwards in a concave manner causing the posterior surface lf the iris to touch the zonules

why does this cause pds?

normal pupil movement causes the iris to move. Dilation and constriction for example this micro-trauma over time causes PDS

then those zonules sheer off into the aqueous humor (holy buzzwords icl)

2. Reverse pupil block, normally the anterior and posterior chamber pressure is balanced sometimes in pds the posterior pressure is higher which leads to concave of the iris leading to PDS


3. Normal iris movement can lead to PDS no need to elaborate on this lol

BTW PDS IS ANATOMICAL AND CHRONIC !
It can be reversed for the most part

In conclusion it will work if you find a proper way to induce the correct mechanical friction cuz idk if rubbing your finger on your eye will do this
——————————
The only takeback is that its not ALWAYS reversible and you cant do it if youre a deathnic as mentioned above lol
if someone finds a safe way to cause the friction ill do it because im a t50cel



(rep pls )

“In pigmented races, such as Asians, Africans, and people of color, pigment dispersion is highly dangerous for visual function due to high volume of pigment in the IPE layer of the iris.”

This article above refers to how mechanical friction between the posterior iris epithelium and zonules from iris configuration leads directly to pigment release in the anterior chamber which is the one you see

so what causes this rubbing?

1. common in pds patients is iris bowing backwards in a concave manner causing the posterior surface lf the iris to touch the zonules

why does this cause pds?

normal pupil movement causes the iris to move. Dilation and constriction for example this repeatedly causes PDS

then those zonules sheer off into the aqueous humor (holy buzzwords icl)
