News About Keratopigmentation

Safety and keratopigmentation protocol

Keratopigmentation is performed by a qualified ophthalmologist in a sterile medical environment in Paris. The procedure uses the VisuMax Zeiss femtosecond laser, a cutting-edge technology that creates an intracorneal tunnel with micrometric precision. The biocompatible pigments used are CE-certified and specifically designed for ophthalmic use, ensuring optimal tissue tolerance.

Unlike iris implants or permanent colored contact lenses, keratopigmentation does not affect the internal structures of the eye. The pigment remains confined within the corneal thickness, with no contact with the crystalline lens or the anterior chamber. This approach significantly minimizes risks of intraocular inflammation, glaucoma, or cataracts. The entire procedure takes approximately 30 minutes under topical anesthesia, completely painless.

A comprehensive preoperative assessment including corneal topography, pachymetry, and fundus examination is systematically performed before any intervention. This assessment confirms patient eligibility and allows personalization of the desired eye color change through a realistic 3D simulation.

Results and post-operative care

The permanent results of keratopigmentation are visible within the first hours following the procedure. The new eye color achieved is stable, natural-looking, and lasting. Patients notice an immediate change that fully stabilizes within 2 to 4 weeks, once corneal healing is complete.

Post-operative follow-up includes consultations at D+1, D+7, D+30, and D+90. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops are prescribed for 2 to 4 weeks. Daily activities can be resumed the next day, with simple precautions: avoid eye makeup for one week and wear sunglasses outdoors.

The before after results speak for themselves: thousands of satisfied patients worldwide have benefited from this technique. The keratopigmentation fee is 5,500 EUR for both eyes, including the preoperative assessment, the procedure, and complete follow-up care. A free consultation allows you to evaluate your eligibility and visualize the expected outcome.

Frequently asked questions about keratopigmentation

Is keratopigmentation painful? No. The procedure is performed under topical anesthesia with eye drops. Patients feel slight pressure during VisuMax Zeiss laser application but no pain. Mild discomfort may persist for a few hours after the operation.

How long do results last? Keratopigmentation delivers permanent results. The biocompatible pigments are encapsulated within the cornea and do not degrade over time. Unlike colored contact lenses, no daily maintenance is required.

Who is eligible for this procedure? Any adult with healthy eyes, after validation by the ophthalmologist during the preoperative assessment. Contact lens wearers must remove them at least 48 hours before the consultation. Patients who have undergone refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK) may be eligible after evaluation.
