3.5 stars for all the suffering had by these people who were sold something (or freely given something in exchange for content) that was dangerous and unnecessary from “doctors” who allowed it to happen. Seeing the manager yell at him when the wrong fucking color was put IN DAVID’S ANTERIOR CHAMBER was absolutely devastating. Yeah, he’s fucking pissed about it!

You can’t get implants to change your eye color and not have side effects to your vision. It’s not worth it, even if it were safe.
