Keratopigmentation (corneal tattoo) hides white corneal scars or unrepairable iris defects with permanent pigment placed within the cornea. Purely cosmetic — does not restore vision in opaque corneas. Done with traditional needle technique or, for higher precision, Femtosecond laser channel creation.
Why choose us
Traditional tattooing uses needles; Femtosecond creates uniform sub-surface channels for more even pigment distribution and color predictability.
Pigment is mixed and tested before injection. The goal is matching the iris of your seeing eye so the cosmetic result is symmetric.
The procedure intersects cornea anatomy and pigment chemistry. Done well, it lasts decades; done poorly, it can cause inflammation or color migration.
Not every scar is suitable for tattoo. We screen with anterior segment OCT to confirm the scar depth and stromal anatomy before committing.
