What is Keratopigmentation?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keratopigmentation is a type of tattooing procedure where pigment is injected between the layers of the cornea for aesthetic or therapeutic purposes. At Ka\u015fkalo\u011flu Eye Hospital, therapeutic keratopigmentation has been successfully performed for a long time with very positive results.<\/p>\n

Why is Eye Color Changed?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Changing eye color is for aesthetic purposes and is not a medical necessity. It is done at the individual\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

What is the Simplest Way to Change My Eye Color?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eye color is determined genetically by the pigments in the tissue called the iris. While it is possible to change the color of the iris by dispersing the pigments with a laser, this method does not produce the desired results and has been discontinued. Ka\u015fkalo\u011flu Eye Hospital has never used this method. The simplest way to change eye color is to use colored contact lenses. However, those who wear colored contact lenses for a long time may develop intolerance (due to dry eyes or allergic conditions) and may not be able to use them anymore. Most people who want to permanently change their eye color are already colored contact lens users and are recognized by their surroundings with that eye color. Therefore, when they can no longer use colored contact lenses, they opt for permanent eye color surgery. Permanent eye color change is done by injecting pigment of the desired color into channels opened in the cornea with a laser. This process does not change the color of the iris.<\/p>\n

Is It Possible to Permanently Change Eye Color?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
