: MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind of a new trend – Black people going to Panama to have an operation to change their eye color permanently. Well if you’re considering undergoing this operation, you should listen to the story of Shenise Farrell, a British woman who got it done – and regretted it.
Here’s how the whole thing started (courtesy of the UK’s Daily Mail):
Miss Farrell called the US number of the New Colour Iris company, linked to a clinic in Panama run by a Dr Delary Kahn.You see … we could say a lot about that there … but we’re just gonna continue reading:She was told to undergo five tests with opticians in the UK to check she was suitable and then hand over $3,000 (£1,800) deposit and proof of airfare and hotel.
The opticians advised her not to go ahead with the procedure but she raided her savings and flew to Central America in June, telling family she was off on holiday. ‘I’ve already had breast implants abroad in Bulgaria and had been very happy with that, so it didn’t faze me that I would have to go to Panama,’ she said.
‘The procedure was unpleasant and painful. I screamed out at one point. But it was over within ten minutes and I was taken back to my hotel with just some eye drops and told to buy my own painkillers.’The woman was evenetually forced to have the implants removed by British doctors who claim that, while they saved her vision, Shenise may have cataracts in the future.For the next eight days, her vision remained blurred, particularly in her right eye. When she arrived back at Heathrow, she had to be helped through the terminal because her sight was so poor.
Four days later, with no improvement and after developing a painful sensitivity to light, she called NHS Direct who advised her to go straight to the Western Eye Hospital in Paddington.
And if you think Shenise’s story is uncommon, here’s the story of another woman who claims to have problems with the procedure:
YOU MORONS NEED TO READ....
SHE WANTED PERMANENTLY BLUE EYES, ARE CONTACTS PERMANANT??
MORONS..
AND FOR THE MORONS CLAMINING "SELF HATE", PICK UP A BOOK, FIND YOUR WAY TO THE NEAREST COMMUNTITY COLLEGE, LEARN HOW TO READ & READ THAT BOOK...
DUMB PIECES OF ISH... DON'T KNOW SELF HATE IF IT WAS BLACK KNOCKED YOU DOWN AND CALLED YOU DARKIE..
@ VICDAMONE WHATS SAD IS THAT A MAJORITY OF SISTAS THESE DAYS HATE THEIR APPEARANCE...FOR WHAT?
SOCIETY HAS A OUT OF WHACK NORM THAT SISTAS ARE FORCED TO ASSIMILATE TOO....
THIS IS SAD.....WE AS BLACK MALES SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB UPLIFTING OUR BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN AND MINORITY WOMEN TOO ---------------
YOU ARE SO RIGHT I HOPE ALL OF OUR BLACK STRONG MEN WOULD HEAR YOUR WORDS. AND UPLIFT OUR WOMEN. THIS WORLD HAS TOLD US THAT WE ARE NOT WHAT BEAUTY IS AND OH HOW WRONG THEY ARE. STOP THE SELF HATE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
she a #%&$* idiot weh di @#$%* she wah change eye color fah. Jesus made you the way he wanted you to be and yuh gaw du all adat foolishness. yuh shoulda blind. Every day black people jus upset mi more. di blasted ediot dem a try look like white people. when we nah bleach, we a breast implant, *** implant, hip implant and mek wi lips dem smaller.
And you know whats funny we don't see that what God blessed us with is great till white people a pay rediculus amount of money to get what we have
I don't care what u been through in the past, or whether u don't contacts... God made u the way u were for a reason... And going to THAT extreme to change your opinion is not necessary.. Its like a diss to God like didn't like what he created... Nobody's perfect, and everyone needs improvement... But its really not worth thousands of dollars to do drastic measures..... Be comfy in the skin u in, and somebody will love u for it... I love my natural DARK brown eyes....everybody knows her eyes aint blue anyway, especially now
That's what that white-washed bish gets. I'm just disgusted with a lot of the threads today. Its 2010 and black folks are still hating themselves. U couldn't pay me to not be who I am: a proud, all-black, African-American woman. Bish get over it. I hope that bish go blind forever than she wouldn't be so color struck. Maybe that would teach her self hatin a$$ a lesson.
@whatwhatwhat Every country has their ghettos and crime, but that's not all there is to Panama. It's a very beautiful country, and the quality of life is a thousand percent better than America. Don't judge what you have no knowledge about. The water is good enough to drink and a lot less polluted, and the drug wars are everywhere. Even in America. Viva Panama.
That serve her dumb *** right! Her problem is that she wants to be white so bad: her straight wig,blue contacts.I bet that she was working on bleaching her skin white,her self hatred speaks volumes.That coon better be lucky that she was'nt permanently blinded from that *** up job that happened on her eyes.She look like a fool too!
LOL @ WHATWHATWHAT, very good point. But what is more annoying about this woman is that she sacrificed all her saving for vanity, and now she's having the treatment to save her sight on the NHS (free health service in the UK), wasting taxpayers money when someone with real health issues (not self inflicted ones) has probably been pushed back in the queue. She's a single mother and a student, so obviously getting state benefits, but somehow finds the money to have an unnecessary operation. How selfish it this on her kids, if she loses her sight she can't do a lot with her children.
Has she never read a Toni Morrison novel? Good Lord, it's so sad when my sisters hate the way they look. I am dark-skinned, nappy-headed (I get my bi-weekly press, no creamy crack for me), bow-legged, I got royal African high behind, and men LOVE IT! I left my German boyfriend crying on the floor when I left him, and I didn't have to have blue eyes to do it!
And let's keep it real people... I bet the self hate started at the church. That's right. The blonde hair blue eyed Jesus that so many God fearing Christians look up to as a Messiah.
I'm not denouncing religion... each to their own... but I could never praise a white man as my saviour. That's how it all starts. These kids see 'white aryan' figures as the dominant idols in their lives.
It then extends to dolls, t.v., cartoons etc. You may think I'm exaggerating but I'm not. The self hate is strong... blue eyes? Why the hell would you want a recessive trait, which is more prone to (cont'd)
eye damage than darker eyes? Oh right, because it is seen as more aesthetically 'beautiful' to have light eyes. Stupid biatch, then she comes to our country to get treatment for her own bumbling mistake based on pure vanity.
I have no sympathy what soever. She put her herself first at the risk of losing her eyesight. (and her kid as some have claimed) for her own vanity. She has issues. Deep rooted issues. It's sad. Be comfortable in your own skin people.
Crazy B*tch! This is one of the most extreme examples of self-hatred I've ever seen! It just goes to show you, women will, slash and mutilate themselves for attention! She wants people to look at her and say, "Oh! Your eyes are so pretty and blue!" This sick, sad, twisted woman has swallowed the whole Caucasian Standard of Beauty hook, line and sinker! She will go on through life working two jobs so she can go to some doctor and get cut up again! She thinks her "Enhancements" are beautiful! In reality, they are scars! What she really needs to do is save her money to see a good psychiatrist!
I'M SORRY, I HAVE NO *** SYMPATHY FOR YOU, U DESERVE EVERYTHING YOU GET, DUMMY! NO, YOU BLK PPL JUST CAN'T BE SATISFIED WITH THE BEAUTY GOD GAVE YOU, SO CAUGHT UP THE THE *** OF WHAT WHITE PPL TELL U IS BEAUTIFUL. HELLOOOO, THEY R TRYING TO LOOK LIKE US!!! WHAT MAKE U THINK THEY R BEAUTIFUL? CAUSE THEY REP THEMSELVES TO BE? GET A CLUE PPL. I'M SO SURE U WERE GORGEOUS B4 THOSE HIDEOUS THINGS, CAUSE U HAVE A NICE FACE, BUT THOSE EYES, OMG . MY MOM IS GOING BLIND BECAUSE OF MEDICAL REASON AND IF SHE COULD BE BLESS WITH THE GIFT OF PERFECT SIGHT, SHE WOULD B THE HAPPIEST PERSON ON EARTH!
@VicDamone- Your first comment is very well stated. Unfortunately, she's not the first nor will she be the last black woman to think she is ugly or inferior in beauty compared to her european counterparts. Brothers don't make it any easier on complimenting black women's natural beauty either. They would appraoch a light skin woman with 44 inch yaki and who is uncultured before approaching an intelligent cultural sista with 2 inch locs and dark skin with a college degree. We're both psychologically dmamaged in my opinion.
Alot of brothers are mentally defeated and downtrodden as well as emasculated but alot of the sistas got deep seated psychological issues regarding their appearance.
If sistas could find a doctor that permanantly transplanted a 44inch long straight yaki to their head, they would go for it. Some black women can't even leave their home without their fake weave/wig. And if they did leave without it one, they would feel insecure. This is a serious issue in our community.
@jayquan- Other races go through inferiority problems regarding their beauty as well. The only difference though is it seems to EFFECT us more PROFOUNDLY because we DO NOT FIT the MOLD of "supposed beauty standards" at all. We look far different from the other races. So if an Asian or Mexican opts for blue eyes or a nose job, its bad but there is something shameful when we do it and I can't explain why.
jayquan, I agree, alot of South Asians (Indians, SriLankans) bleach their skin. They have a caste system putting the fairer skinned at the top of their heirachy and the darker at the bottom.
Alot of Asians from China/Japan have surgery to 'expand' their eye width to appear more European.
Don't get it twisted, alot of non-white races have self hate issues, but considering MTO is a predominantly "black website" of course their gonna do stories that pertain to us more frequently.
MAN, IF YA'LL DONT GET CONTACTS!!!! This is doing wayyy too much. That was unnecessary anyway.

^^CO-SIGN. I am tired of hearing it is only US who have self-hatred.
She was told to undergo five tests with opticians in the UK to check she was suitable and then hand over $3,000 (£1,800) deposit and proof of airfare and hotel. ==== I want to know if this person is a homeowner, has stock, 401k and investments. If NOT,.wasting your money(income tax) on trivial things like this is not necessary. The lighter girl looks better with hers..but the darker toned woman should have known better than to go with blue eyes. It's not natural..and it screams..i want to be white. smh
@Guessjeans.. Some black women can't even leave their home without their fake weave/wig. And if they did leave without it one, they would feel insecure. This is a serious issue in our community. -------------- Exactly! And it is emasculated and heightened further by the effects of blonde weave lacefront wearing celebrities like Tyra Banks,Lil Kim and Beyonce..whom young black girls emulate. They are NEVER photo'd relaxing without that weave! I mean to NEVER , EVER be seen in public wearing your very OWN hair..suggests what a mess it must really look be, behind all of the weave and lace.
you stupid black bytch you get a boob job and change your eyes from brown to blue iris's you want to be white next your gonna bleach your skin huh? you don't deserve to see you stupid confused sorry azz excuse for a sista... and she is probably married to a white man... dumb bytch yeah i went there!!!!!!
I WENT TO HER WEB PAGE AND SHE GOT ONE OF THE IMPLANTS REMOVED AND THE OTHER ONE WILL BE REMOVED NEXT MONTH SHE SAYS HER EYES ARE NOT A NATURAL BLUE THEY MAKE HER LOOK LIKE A MONSTER SHE HAD SOME TYPE OF ISSUE WITH HERSELF AND HOW OTHERS SAY SHE APPEARS. I THINK SHE WANTED TO SAY SHE HAD WHITE GENES IN HER SOMEWHERE BUT TO GO THIS FAR WHEN ALMOST 50% OF THE SURGERY PROCEDURE END UP GOING BLIND AND HAVING TO USE STEROIDS TO HELP DRAIN THERE EYES IS NOT WORTH IT IDK WHY BLACK WOMEN FEEL SO UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THEMSELVES SMMFH!
wow, she should've known to research that procedure before going through with it.... i'm reading alot of comments about black people not being proud of themselves, and yeah that is an issue in or community, however if the topic was about this surgery being a success a lot of y'all would be tryn to sign up and head str8 to Panama.
PANAMA STAND UP! BAMBOOLEI!
Sense when are brown eyes not beautiful? See what can happen to a person when how they look is what controls,drives and motivates their everyday life? HOW EMPTY AND SAD A PERSON MUST BE TO BE SO VAIN! I mean *** they make disposable contact's in every color of the rainbow and it wouldn't have cost $3,000 bucks either! LAST BUT NOT LEAST SOME THINGS ARE JUST COMMON SENSE PEOPLE, OUR EYES ARE SO DELICATE WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU HAVE AN EYE SURGERY THAT WASN'T NECESSARY?????
Uhhhh...was this were I was supposed to feel sorry for her dumb ***? THERE IS NO PURPOSE to do this. She did it because she WANTED people to think they were real. What she is, is a perfect POSTER CHILD for the term God don't like ugly".
Quit Playing! LOL and OMG- Why do they have a 1800 Contacts as on the web page? http://www.newcoloriris.com/alfa1.html
SELF-HATING A$$ BLACK BYTCHES!!!!!!!!!
i bet there is thousands of black chicks that is reading this that WISH they could go and get some blue eyes to!
the black woman's SELF-HATE will destroy the so called Black Comunnity before Black Men do.
fellas how many black chicks do you see and know that wears contacts and blonde weave to cover up what GOD made? i see plenty daily. and these pathetic bytches have the nerve to call Black Men 'sell-outs'
black chicks are becoming more unbearable by the day. tryin to look like WHITE WOMEN. that bytch SHOULD go blind for this self-hating b.s.
Well women wouldn't have to feel like that if these ignorant black men these days didn't treat our black women disrespectfully by worshipping the light skinned white or mixed women like there so much better just because of their skin color

I am sorry, but you can’t blame this one on black men. In fact, I highly doubt that this broad is seeking the affection or companionship of black men.
Any woman who would go to such extreme to alter her physical appearance to resemble another race or ethnic group, is trying to complete absolve any image or reminder of her blackness or ethnicity. Thus, any intimate contact with black men would serve to remind her of her blackness. If this woman went to such extreme to erase her black features, why would she copulate with a black man and bring forth dark seeds?
She is white-washed…and most white-washed Negroes want to appear white in order to appeal to white members.
Don’t fool yourself…black men isn’t the object of her affection nor the cause of her senility.
That's what the fu.ck she gets. She should have went blind. How dare you try to change what God gave you permanently. The second chick looks fake anyway! How dumb can you be! Are black ppl not effin happy with what they got? I thought we were supposed to have the highest self esteem of any race, but these ungrateful ho.es sayin otherwise. PLUS You don't ever let other people *** wit yo eyes unless you gonna be blind anyways! (Cataracts) Like wtf bish. LEARN YA LESSON
Blue eyes are ugly! idk what peoples fascination with them are? People with blue eyes look demonic or evil and its a sign of pigment mutation...why would you want to look like a mutant
=====
Blue eyes or non-brown eyes are all recessive alleles…in fact 16% of European males with blue eyes suffer from color blindness
Lol…but, you can’t tell these Negroes this….because light-colored eyes are :”sexy”…ahahahaha
Ahahaha….there are a lot of buffoons walking on this planet….I see why the elite despises you morons….
Ahahaha…I am out…
I'm sorry but this *** is dumb I don't feel sorry for her das what u get for trying 2 be white no love 4 u u got what u deserved then on top of da u tryin 2 get mad at doctor I mean what did u expect? Ur going out of da u.s.a 2 get plastic surgery on ur eyes not ur breast or *** but ur eyes then u gonna get an implant at da *** ur eye when ur eyes were fine to begin stooopid ***
On some real *** lol she is silly. Silly and self hating, this is the way the Good Lord made me and I am happy for it. Brown is beautiful! I promise people stop hating yourself love and accept yourself for who you are! I don't feel like light skin white pale green eyes blue eyes are the definition of beauty we are Queens and black is beautiful!
Blacks are not the only one's getting this done, hispanics, whites, and asians are also getting this done, just search it on youtube. Its sad that these people have no self esteem and willing to risk there lives for vanity. What a sad world we live in. I can't personally blame them because the same ppl on the forum are probably the same ones quick to call some ugly or some other derogatory name, so I cannot judge them
YOU KNOW..THIS DUMB BROAD BROUGHT ALL THIS ON HERSELF..I TIRED OF PEOPLE GETTING ALL THIS STUPID PLASTIC SURGERY..IF THE CREATOR WANTED YOUR EYES TO BE BLUE, YA WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN WITH HIM...WHAT EXACTLY DID SHE THINK "BLUE" EYES WAS GOING TO IMPROVE IN HER LIFE?? AT THE END OF THE DAY, SHE'S STILL BLACK..BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK..GET OVER IT AND BE PROUD!!
Self-hate, though it's worse in North American culture, is all over the world. The pressure of fitting inside an European world, with very little black population and exposure seems to be a harder adjustment. Just look at the European soccer, the white European crowds treat black European players like ***. It's just sad, as black people around the world, we can't help and find more solutions to be more proud of ourselves externally and internally.
I heard about this surgery before. What happened to her was messed up. I am not against cosmetic surgery(some people need it for $hit like excess skin, from being deformed, and etc), but to change your eye color is too dangerous. In addition, it was not wise to go to Panama or these other countries to have procedure done. They have a different medical system then other places.
This *** dumb as HELL!!!! #1. Why would you want to PERMANENTLY change your eye color?! If God wanted you to have blue eyes he would have created you with them!!! #2. Why, of all colors, would you choose BLUE?! #3. Why would you do research AFTER your surgery?! That's just DUMB!!! And #4. What the hell is an "Ebayer"?! I thought it was buyer or seller on Ebay.

I have one more thing to say. I think it's wrong for many of you to say that she's stupid, that good for her dumb ***, that's what she gets, etc.
If this was a safe procedure MANY of you would go out and get it. This women is telling you about the dangers of this procedure and this is the thanks she gets? Wow some of you are just heartless and cruel. I'm thankful that she is spreading the word about this because the doctor's won't tell you about the dangers.
Thank her don't hate her.
Thank you for sharing your story.
MTO readers,we sure arent the only ones who think that Shenise is dumb.On the Daily Mail online,those British people blasted Shenise as well,they had no sympathy for her. Shenise is a 27 year old single mother of 3 kids from West London.She should had taken her money and invested it in a trust fund for her kids instead of wasting it on herself. SMH
The hate spewed at black women on this site is simply appalling. So much criticism coming from both Black men and Black women. First the "mixed" post and now this. We constantly try to say the "white man" is against us and we should be "pro black" but seeing comments like this coming from people of my own race is simply disgusting. You all don't know this woman. She's a GROWN *** WOMAN. Her decision, although extremely stupid and dangerous, is her decision. She should be able to do as she pleases without you all lashing out at her.
It appears these two women took a gamble & lost. I would've just saved myself the loot & got contacts from Bausch & lomb or what have you but to each it's own. There seems to be alot of self righteous females on here throwing out phrases like "self hating" & "dumb ***" that would probably have a fit if someone called them the same thing for spending a small fortune on getting Remi,yaki ect., sewed in their head or shaving down hairlines to glue a lacefront on SMH. Have some humility people, it doesn't cost you a thing!
Why can't people do their research BEFORE they get unnecessary procedures that could permanently destroy their vision or health? Girl on Youtube should have paid a plastic surgeon to fix that dent in her head instead of changing her eye color. How can blue eyes of any shade EVER be "subtle and natural" on a chocolate brown sista. What a maroon!
Those of you who are wishing blindness on this young woman for undergoing this procedure had better take care that your heartless *** don't wake up one morning looking into a sea of blackness, for what you wish on another will be returned to you threefold. Besides, it wasn't YOUR money, or YOUR eyes that were damaged, so what the f'uck are y'all so incensed about? Instead, you SHOULD be praying for this young lady to emerge from her self inflicted ***, so that she may go on to help other misguided sisters. (At least I will).
I BLAME AMERICAN SOCIETY. AS WE KNOW AMERICA IS MOSTLY WHITE. EVEN THE COMMERCIALS, THE PRODUCTS ALL REVOLVE AROUND WHITE PEOPLE AND THEIR LIVES. LUCKILY INDIANS,LATINOS AND ASIANS HAVE SIMILAR TRAITS. IT'S LIKE BLACKS,LATINOS, AND ASIANS ARE BRAIN WASHED INTO THINKING THAT WHITES ARE BETTER THAN THE REST. THATS WHAT LEAD THIS TO HAPPEN.
Is it wrong for a man to have a sugar baby or a woman to have sugar daddy?? It is an absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services came out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship. such as ^-^ www.sugarscupid.com ^-^ it¡¯s the biggest sugar dating site for beautiful woman and rich man
this woman is very articulate and seems to have a good head on her shoulders, what possessed her to make such a irrational decision like that? She was beautiful the way she was, and she's right she could have invested that money, down payment on a house, a car, stock,CD anything...what a waste.....but it looks as if she learned her lesson, I know she's thanking God that she can still see!
What so bad about lil mama in the video is that she's actually a pretty girl. God made us the way he did because he has a purpose for us. If he wanted you to have blue eyes he would've made you white. Don't people realize that the lighter the eye color the greater the chance of having bad eyesight. *** just keep it natural. No need for those fake boobies, booties, and anything else. Find a way to make what you have work without augmentation.
