Cosmetic alteration of iris colour with implants, along with its secondary complications, is already well described in the literature. However the use of cosmetic iris laser is relatively novel. We report on a rare case of bilateral secondary pigmentary glaucoma, in a young patient who underwent such a treatment to cause a change in iris pigmentation. Data on the safety of such procedures are lacking. Ophthalmic healthcare professionals should be aware of the potentially devastating consequences and encourage caution in patients seeking this novel treatment.
