Permanent Eye Color Change: How It Works and Why People Choose It
Permanent eye color change is now possible thanks to modern laser technology and medical innovation. At Kaskaloglu Eye Hospital in Izmir, Turkey, we perform this procedure using the FLAAK (Femtosecond Laser Assisted Annular Keratopigmentation) technique — one of the safest and most natural-looking methods available worldwide.
What Is Eye Color Change?
This procedure involves placing micron-level medical pigments into the cornea — the clear, outer layer of the eye — using advanced femtosecond laser technology. The pigment replicates the natural iris pattern, creating a realistic and long-lasting new eye color.
Why Do People Choose It?
- Aesthetic preference – To achieve a lighter, darker, or different eye color.
- Color correction – To fix heterochromia (two eyes of different colors).
- Post-trauma or surgery – To restore eye appearance after injury or surgery.
- Cosmetic enhancement – To cover spots, defects, or irregularities on the iris.
Advantages of the FLAAK Method
- Safe – The pigment is placed in the cornea only; there is no surgery inside the eye.
- Natural-looking – At social distance, the color appears as a natural iris.
- Permanent – Unlike colored contact lenses or dyes, the result lasts a lifetime.
- Quick recovery – Most patients return to daily activities within a few days.
How Is the Procedure Done?
- Comprehensive eye examination – To confirm eye health and suitability.
- Laser channel creation – A femtosecond laser creates a circular channel in the cornea.
- Pigment application – The selected pigment is placed into this channel.
- Follow-up and healing – Post-procedure checks ensure proper healing.
💡 Note: Older methods that involve implanting artificial irises (e.g., BrightOcular, NewColorIris) carry serious risks and are no longer recommended. FLAAK is the safest and most advanced alternative.
Where Do We Perform It?
