However, this procedure is not suitable for everyone. Proper patient selection and detailed eye examination are essential.

Medical keratopigmentation may be suitable for:

  • Individuals with healthy corneal structure

  • Patients seeking permanent cosmetic eye color change

  • People who cannot tolerate or do not wish to use colored contact lenses

  • Patients with corneal scars or cosmetic defects due to trauma or disease

  • Adequate corneal thickness (confirmed by corneal topography and OCT)

  • No active eye diseases such as:

    • Keratoconus
