Keratopigmentation

What Is Keratopigmentation?

Keratopigmentation is a surgical technique developed for people who want to permanently change their eye color. The procedure is performed with great care to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Is It Possible to Change Eye Color?

With advances in surgical techniques, changing eye color has become possible. One of the commonly used methods today is the FLAAK® technique. With this innovative keratopigmentation approach, the eye’s natural structure can be preserved while achieving the desired color change. The FLAAK® technique creates a permanent change by introducing pigment into the corneal layer.

What Is Flaak Pro Eye Color Change?

FLAAK Pro, or Femto Laser Aesthetic Annular Keratopigmentation, is a state-of-the-art procedure designed to change eye color using advanced femtosecond laser technology. This method involves creating micro-tunnels within the corneal tissue and injecting biocompatible pigments. The technique is performed using the VisuMax Femtosecond laser, which is known for its precision and safety.

What Is the Preoperative Preparation Process?

Before eye color change surgery, patients undergo a detailed evaluation process. The first step is determining the person’s eye health and suitability for surgery. During the examination by a specialist ophthalmologist, the eye’s structure and overall ocular health are assessed. If the patient is deemed suitable, aesthetic preferences are discussed.

Color Selection and Simulation Process

The patient is offered different eye color options and the preferred color is selected. At this stage, simulation technology is used to help the patient better understand how the chosen color will look on their eyes. Eye color change simulation allows the patient to visually experience how the new eye color will harmonize with facial features—helping the patient feel confident in their aesthetic choice and reducing unexpected outcomes after surgery.

During the simulation, it is also shown in detail how eye color may appear differently depending on light, eye anatomy, and environmental factors. This helps the patient make the most accurate choice.

Preoperative Preparations

After deciding to proceed, additional tests related to the patient’s general health may be performed if needed. It is also important to maintain good eye hygiene and follow the surgeon’s preoperative instructions. Before the day of surgery, the doctor informs the patient about the procedure and key post-operative precautions.

Although eye color change surgery is an aesthetic preference, it must be performed with careful planning and a professional approach. Accurate information and appropriate preparation at every step play a critical role in achieving a successful outcome.

How Is FLAAK Pro Eye Color Change Surgery Performed?

During the procedure, the color selection stage is an important step to ensure complete patient satisfaction. Throughout the FLAAK Pro process, continuous communication with the patient is maintained. After micro-tunnels are created and before biocompatible pigments are injected, the patient is asked to confirm their color preference, and a simulation is used to show how the selected color will appear. This ensures the patient remains in control at every stage and supports achieving the desired result. Once the eye color change is completed, the patient attains the intended appearance.

What Should Be Considered After Eye Color Change Surgery?

To support smooth healing and achieve the desired outcome after eye color change surgery, the following points should be observed:

Protect the Eyes: Wearing sunglasses is recommended to protect your eyes from sunlight and external factors.

Do Not Use Contact Lenses: Contact lenses should not be used during the healing period; it is important to allow time for the eyes to recover.

Avoid Pressure on the Eyes: Rubbing or applying pressure can negatively affect healing.

Avoid Eye Makeup: Eye makeup can increase the risk of infection. Avoid it until full healing is achieved.

Do Not Miss Follow-Up Visits: Attending regular post-operative check-ups is essential to monitor healing.

By following these simple steps, you can support faster recovery and improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Advantages of VisuMax 800 Technology

The VisuMax 800 device used in keratopigmentation procedures enables highly precise laser application to the cornea, increasing both the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. This technology allows for optimal outcomes in eye color change.

Why Choose FLAAK Pro?

FLAAK Pro stands out for its reliability and impressive results in eye color change. Unlike traditional methods, there is no intervention inside the eye, so the risk of complications is described as minimal. Serious complications previously seen with older eye color change surgeries are stated to be eliminated with the FLAAK Pro method.

Global Use of the FLAAK Pro Method

FLAAK Pro has begun to gain wider adoption globally and has become a preferred method for many patients seeking eye color change. International literature is reported to include many success stories and positive patient feedback regarding this method. With its reliability and natural-looking outcomes, FLAAK Pro is described as setting a new standard in aesthetic eye surgery.
