got new eyes this week. Tiny got a permanent procedure done in Africa that is currently illegal in the U.S. Originally Tiny had brown eyes, but they are now ice grey. In an interview with ABC she said that she wanted to change her look, a drastic one if you ask me. Her husband TI was a little skeptical at first but now "He loves them, hes okay with them. As long as they are healthy." She said in the interview.

The way the procedure is done is extremely risky and most people who have done it have been forced to remove them because they have experienced discomforts in their eyes. The procedure is said to take about 5 to 10 minutes per eye. A small incision is made on each eye and then the color implant is inserted through the small opening. Each implant is then spread it out on top of the cornea. This is what changes the color of the eye and makes it look real because the implant is bellow and not on top of the eye. The procedure is illegal in the U.S because it is not proven to be save and can cause blindness.

When I was in my crazy contact stage I looked up information about this procedure. I stumbled upon a few videos on Facebook of people who got the procedure d
one and they definitely convinced me to get this idea out of my mind. Your eyes are one of the most important and one of the most sensitive organs in the human body, making a hole in your eyes and inserting a piece of plastic sounds a little too crazy for me. Another thing that turned me off about the idea is that it is illegal in the U.S so that alone is a red flag as to why you should not get this done. The fact that you have to go to another country like Bolivia or Africa to get this done is another thing that made me realize that this is dangerous.

I don't think getting this done to herself was a good idea, she has a lot of money so much that she would have probably could been able to get some custom made contacts that looked just like this but would be less harmful to her eyesight. Although like she says in the interview its her body, I don't believe that she made the right decision by going through with such a risky operation. She is also a public figure so she has millions of eyes on her including teens, so this might not be a good influence for them. I wish Tiny the best with her eyes and I have that no complications come to her after this operation.
