Keratopigmentation is a corneal tattooing procedure that deposits micropigments into specific layers of the cornea to permanently change your eye color. When performed by a board-certified ophthalmologist, it's considered a safe, well-refined procedure. At Eyes Color Lab, it's performed by Dr. Jorge Cesar Bruno, MD, a board-certified ophthalmologist and Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Cost depends on the technique, the desired color, and your individual eye characteristics. Eyes Color Lab offers financing options to make the procedure more accessible — book a free evaluation for a personalized quote.

Keratopigmentation is designed to be a long-lasting, permanent change in eye color. During your evaluation, our team will walk you through what to expect over time and how results are maintained.

As with any procedure involving the cornea, potential risks can include temporary inflammation, light sensitivity, or uneven pigment distribution. Choosing a board-certified ophthalmologist with specific experience in keratopigmentation, like Dr. Bruno, significantly reduces these risks — every case starts with a thorough evaluation.

LASIK creates a thin corneal flap before reshaping the cornea, while PRK removes the surface layer directly without a flap. PRK typically involves a slightly longer initial recovery but avoids flap-related risks, making it a strong option for certain corneal profiles.

Candidacy depends on corneal thickness, prescription strength, age, and overall eye health. The best way to find out is through a complete evaluation — schedule yours with Eyes Color Lab to get a personalized recommendation.

Most patients notice functional vision within 3 to 5 days, with full visual stabilization taking several weeks. Your care team will guide you through eye drops, follow-ups, and activity restrictions during this period.

Clear lens exchange replaces your eye's natural lens with an artificial one, correcting high refractive errors and helping prevent future cataracts. It's often recommended for patients who aren't ideal candidates for LASIK or PRK due to prescription strength or age.

Look for certification from the American Board of Ophthalmology and membership or fellowship with the American Academy of Ophthalmology, along with specific experience in the procedure you're considering.
