Eye color change – Keratopigmentation

Modern laser surgery now enables cosmetic procedures for changing eye color using a low-power laser beam. The procedure involves lightening the iris pigment in individuals with brown eyes. However, reversing the color change from light to dark is not possible.

The expected result is discussed with the patient before the procedure and depends on the duration of laser exposure — the longer the exposure, the lighter the resulting color. The full effect becomes visible within a month, once the iris has fully recovered.

Procedure features in leading global clinics

The Stroma Medical procedure is performed in many top clinics worldwide and is considered safe, as it does not lead to vision deterioration.

Additionally, in cases where the iris lacks pigment, leading hospitals offer surgeries for implanting a silicone prosthesis with hypoallergenic properties. This method allows patients to choose their desired eye color.
