I think there are two controversies-

1. It hasn't been tested nearly enough yet, and it doesn't look like they're going to test it thoroughly enough before making it publicly available. Anything that involves lasers burning through eyes needs a lot of care.

2. The racial entanglements that inevitably get bound up with these.

First seems valid, second seems weak.

We already have had colored contacts. Also, most white people don't have blue eyes. Don't understand.

On some X-Men 3 (horrible movie, imo) shyt, there are lots of minorities who desperately want these things. My 4 year old niece got into a blueberry eating phase because she thought if she ate enough her eyes would turn blue, and in her own words, she "hates" her brown eyes. It starts so young...

Sammy Sosa already lined up for this

If that's true then her parents need to step in and teach her to embrace her natural features. Otherwise she'll continue to be influenced by society and the self-hate will evolve into something else.

But a lot of white people use colored contacts to have green or blue eyes. Actually, the vast majority of people I have come across who wear these contacts are white.

Plenty of white people also get their hair permed to have more curls. Plenty of white people get tans to make themselves darker.

I'm not being naive that striving for white concept of beauty isn't real, which seems to be the case in the anecdote you presented, but a lot of what you presented seems like grasping for straws here.
