Understanding the Procedure

What is keratopigmentation and how does it change eye colour?

Keratopigmentation is an advanced procedure for changing eye colour by placing specially designed pigments into the superficial cornea. It uses a femtosecond laser to create a microtunnel where coloured pigment is injected, without touching the internal structure of the eye.

This innovative technique not only allows for eye color enhancement but can also help camouflage corneal scars, offering patients a safe and predictable transformation.

In Turkey, the procedure involves carefully creating corneal channels using the latest bladeless Femtosecond laser technology.

These channels are arranged in a circular pattern around the pupil and customized to the unique anatomy of each patient's cornea, ensuring a natural, long-lasting result.

3 important facts:

  • 1. This method uses a femtosecond laser to create a microtunnel in the cornea, where a coloured pigment is injected
  • 2. Result: a personalised, long-lasting eye colour, without touching to the internal structure of the eye
  • 3. Advantages: fast (less than an hour), painless thanks to a local anaesthetic, and secure
Step by Step

What happens during the keratopigmentation procedure?

The keratopigmentation procedure takes around 15 minutes per eye and is performed under local anaesthetic drops. It includes an initial consultation with iris analysis and simulation, laser creation of a microtunnel, pigment insertion, and a short recovery period during which the eyes stabilise over a few weeks.

✨ Patient experience: The keratopigmentation procedure ✨
🩺 Initial consultation: An ophthalmologist analyses the colour of your iris, your ocular health and carries out a simulation of the expected result.
πŸ’§ Preparation and anaesthesia: On the day of the operation, anaesthetic drops are applied to ensure a painless procedure.
⚑ Microincision and pigmentation: A precision laser creates an ultra-thin channel in the cornea to insert the coloured pigment. The procedure takes around 15 minutes per eye.
πŸ‘ Recovery: Slight irritation or sensitivity to light may appear, but the eyes will brighten and stabilise within a few weeks.
🎯 Good to know: Unlike coloured lenses, keratopigmentation offers a permanent and natural result!
Making the Right Choice

Keratopigmentation vs iris depigmentation: which is safer?

Why keratopigmentation is better than iris depigmentation (Laser Eye Color Change)

Keratopigmentation is viewed as a safer and more advanced eye colour procedure because it does not touch the iris. Instead, it introduces ultra-fine coloured pigments within the corneal layer β€” the transparent zone outside the iris.

By targeting only the cornea, this method avoids disturbing the delicate iris tissues and the internal pressure-regulating structures of the eye. In contrast, iris depigmentation (Laser Eye Color Change) acts directly on the iris, making it a more invasive and potentially riskier option that may lead to inflammation or pressure imbalance.

In short, keratopigmentation modifies the perceived eye shade from the surface β€” reversible, customizable and safer for the internal anatomy of the eye.

Feature Keratopigmentation Iris depigmentation (Laser Eye Color Change)
Where it acts Cornea (external transparent layer) Iris (internal coloured muscle)
Mechanism Adds biocompatible pigments into corneal stroma Removes or destroys iris melanin using a laser
Reversibility Adjustable or reversible if desired Permanent and non-reversible
Safety profile Surface-level intervention, minimal internal risk Invasive, may increase intraocular pressure or cause inflammation
Approval & use Recognized for aesthetic & medical correction Experimental in many regions
Colour options Wide range of shades and intensities Limited to lighter hues after pigment removal
