Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Color Change Procedure (Keratopigmentation)-FLAAK PRO

Is the Eye Color Change Procedure (Keratopigmentation) Painful?
The eye color change procedure is completely painless, similar to laser surgeries (LASIK,SMILE).” This surgery is performed under local anesthesia with eye drops to numb the eye. You may feel slight discomfort, but no severe pain.

How Long Does the Eye Color Change Procedure (Keratopigmentation) Take?
The procedure is completed in approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The laser part is very quick, lasting about 11 seconds. The remaining time is spent inserting the pigment into the channel, ensuring the correct intensity, and achieving a natural result.

When Can I Return to Normal Life and Resume Sports After the Procedure?
You can return to your normal life and resume any sports activities the day after the surgery. However, it is recommended to avoid swimming for 10-15 days.

What Are the Early Side Effects After the Eye Color Change Procedure?
Early side effects may include a feeling of heaviness in the eyelids, watery eyes, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. These effects are usually mild and disappear quickly. Most patients return to their normal routine the next day.

Are There Any Permanent Side Effects After the Procedure?
The color change is permanent, but slight fading or tonal differences may occur over time. Re-pigmentation can be performed later; however, returning to the original natural eye color is not possible.

What Is the Difference Between Simulation and Actual Results?
The simulation is designed to give you an idea. Your natural eye color (iris color) affects the final result. Thus, there may be minor differences between the simulation and the actual outcome.

Can the Wavy Pattern and Striations of the Iris Be Reproduced?
The wavy appearance cannot be fully replicated. However, a similar effect can be achieved by uneven pigment distribution and creating contrast.

Is the Ring Showing the Original Eye Color Mandatory?
The dark ring around the eye cannot be completely removed, but it can be adjusted to be thin or thick. This ring helps give the eye a natural and deep appearance.

Will It Be Obvious That I Had Surgery?
Your eye color change will not be noticeable from a social distance. However, upon close and careful examination, it may be evident that a procedure was performed.

Can Everyone Undergo the Eye Color Change Procedure?
This procedure is generally suitable for individuals who are eligible for surgeries like LASIK or SMILE.

Can This Procedure Be Performed on Individuals Who Have Previously Undergone LASIK or SMILE Surgery?
If you have had LASIK or SMILE surgery, you need to inform your doctor. In such cases, the surgery can be performed under specific conditions but is generally not preferred.

Can Vision Problems Be Corrected with Laser After the Surgery?
Yes, laser treatment can be applied under appropriate conditions 3-5 months after the surgery.

Can Blepharoplasty Be Performed After the Surgery?
Yes, eyelid surgery (e.g., blepharoplasty) can be performed comfortably after the procedure.

Can Eye Examinations and Other Surgeries Be Performed After the Procedure?
With modern equipment, all types of eye examinations and surgeries can be performed.

Does the Procedure Cause Glaucoma or Cataracts?
No. Since the procedure is performed on the cornea, it does not increase the risk of glaucoma or cataracts.

Can This Procedure Be Performed on Someone with an Artificial Iris Implant (BrightOcular)?
Yes, but the artificial implant must be removed, and the eye must undergo a detailed examination.

Can This Procedure Be Performed on Someone Who Has Had Laser Iris Depigmentation?
It is generally possible, but a detailed examination is required to determine suitability.
