Miss Baudet’s Eyes Color Changed by Eye Smoking
The Paris ophthalmic physician Dumont performed a color changing procedure on Miss Baudet’s eyes, involving three days of eye bathing, confinement, and chemical vapors, followed by a week of daily smoking-like exposure. Patches appeared, turning hazel eyes rich brown, with Dumont resuming operations after a week. Dr. E S Peck reported experiments coloring animal eyes with injected dyes and permanganate or Prussian blue solutions, describing the method and timing.
