Keratopigmentation and refractive error correction surgery

A common question in those who want to change their eye color is whether they can get rid of their glasses after this procedure.

In response to this group, we should emphasize that the variety of surgical techniques for refractive error correction makes it possible to correct vision after keratopigmentation with the FLAAK technique using surgical methods to eliminate glasses.

You should also consider the following tips:

  • Keratopigmentation surgery is generally possible after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or intraocular lens implantation.
  • If the patient has previously undergone Femto-LASIK or SMILE, specific examinations are necessary to determine the feasibility of keratopigmentation.
  • Refractive surgeries to get rid of glasses, regardless of the technique, must be performed at least 3 months after the keratopigmentation procedure.
