DISCLAIMER
I add nothing of value to this thread. I made these notes only for myself. I post this for people to use it more as a collection of links to research than as actual commentary; some of my notes on the links have nothing to do with what’s actually in the link, unlike the titles.
AN INTRO TO ACUTE BILATERAL IRIS DEPIGMENTATION (Grok)
Acute Bilateral Iris Depigmentation (BADI) is a rare ocular condition characterized by the sudden, simultaneous loss of pigment from the iris stroma in both eyes. Patients typically present with acute photophobia, eye redness, mild pain, and pigment dispersion in the anterior chamber, often following a viral illness or recent use of certain antibiotics, most notably oral or topical moxifloxacin. Unlike more severe related syndromes, BADI generally follows a self-limited course without permanent pupil damage or high risk of secondary glaucoma, though the resulting iris lightening or uneven coloration can be long-lasting.

LEVOBUNOLOL
Won’t work unless you do it for almost a decade; even in these cases, it is very rare and barely noticeable.

MOXIFLOXACIN (MENTIONED)
Kinda rare but very noticeable (looks like gray stains) and takes less than a year to have full results.

UV EXPOSURE
Sungazing works; however, it gives very ugly and asymmetrical results.

PIGMENT DISPERSION SYNDROME
Rubbing your eyes is cope; you need to actually have the disease, and only then will rubbing your eyes speed up depigmentation.
