Self-hate is a disease...
When Shenise Farrell read on the internet about a £5,000 operation which could turn her dark brown eyes light blue, she wasted no time in heading off to Panama.
Less than two weeks later, British surgeons were battling to save her sight.
They had to repair a hole in her iris and remove implants. It is unclear whether she will suffer long-term damage – and her eyes are still brown.
‘It was the biggest mistake I have ever made,’ said the single mother of three from Perivale, West London.
‘To think I could have never been able to see my children again. It was totally reckless of me.’
Miss Farrell is taking a community studies degree at Goldsmiths, University of London in the hope of becoming a social worker.
She is believed to be the first person in the
UK to undergo such an operation, which involves inserting a coloured lens inside the eye, over the iris, and is not licensed in Europe.
Miss Farrell called the US number of the New Colour Iris company, linked to a clinic in Panama run by a Dr Delary Kahn.
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.

SHAME ON HER! This is obviously someone with some low as hell self-esteem. Couldn't that money have been spent on a college fund for her kids? I know it ain't cheap, not even in the UK.
What about a fund for her children? Why not a trip for them to go somewhere like Fiji or Bali or even Africa?
Shenise, it's clear that you fell for the trap about what's beautiful and what isn't. Apparently, being who you are is not beautiful enough. I guess I have QUESTIONS about your motives seeing as how you have what looks like some wig, wanted blue contacts (not even natural colors, my grandfather's blue eyes are a darker blue), and breast implants.
For the sake of her children, I pray God gives this broad a clue and some self-love. Jesus be some acceptance for real... *SMDH* Sphere: Related Content
