KERATOPIGMENTATION

Transform your eyes safely with cutting-edge ophthalmic technology

Keratopigmentation, also known as corneal tattooing or eye color change surgery, is one of the most innovative ophthalmic techniques available today. This advanced procedure allows patients to change or enhance their eye color permanently and safely, without inserting any implants or contact lenses.

In Tunisia, Aram Clinic offers this exclusive treatment as part of a comprehensive medical stay designed for international patients from the United States (New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago), Canada (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal), and Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth).

What is Keratopigmentation?

Keratopigmentation is a non-invasive microsurgical technique that modifies the color of the iris by introducing biocompatible pigments into the corneal stroma, the middle layer of the cornea.
Using a femtosecond laser, a precise circular channel is created inside the cornea, where the pigment is carefully deposited to simulate a natural-looking iris color.

This technique allows the correction of esthetic concerns (such as light or uneven iris color) and can also be used for medical purposes, for instance, to mask corneal opacities or iris defects after trauma or disease.

Why choose Keratopigmentation in Tunisia?

Tunisia has become a leading destination for ophthalmic and aesthetic procedures, combining European-level expertise with affordable prices.
At Aram Clinic, keratopigmentation is performed by highly trained eye surgeons using femtosecond laser platforms identical to those used in leading clinics in the US and Europe.

Patients choosing Tunisia for their procedure benefit from:

  • High medical standards and internationally certified surgeons
  • Personalized consultations in English or French
  • Comprehensive packages including accommodation, airport transfers, and local assistance
  • Lower costs than in the USA, Canada, or Australia without compromising quality

The procedure: how does keratopigmentation work?

  1. Preoperative consultation
    The ophthalmologist performs a full corneal scan and discusses the desired shade (blue, green, gray, hazel, etc.).
  2. Laser channel creation
    Using a femtosecond laser, a fine circular tunnel is created inside the cornea — without cutting the eye surface.
  3. Pigment insertion
    Natural, biocompatible pigments are gently injected into this channel to obtain the chosen eye color.
  4. Postoperative care
    Eye drops are prescribed to prevent dryness and infection, and vision is checked the next day.

The procedure is quick (about 30 minutes per eye), painless, and requires no hospital stay. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.

Natural and long-lasting results

The pigments used in keratopigmentation are stable and permanent, offering a natural appearance that blends with the patient’s original iris texture.
The results are customizable — from subtle color enhancement to full transformation — and the process can be reversed or adjusted if necessary.

Unlike cosmetic contact lenses or iris implants, keratopigmentation:

  • Does not affect vision;
  • Does not require maintenance;
  • Involves no risk of infection from foreign bodies.

Recovery and follow-up care

After the procedure, patients may experience mild dryness or light sensitivity for a few days.
Aram Clinic ensures comprehensive postoperative care, including:

  • Follow-up examinations by the ophthalmic surgeon;
  • Regular communication even after returning home;
  • Prescription of eye drops and protective sunglasses.

Patients are usually able to fly back home within 5 to 7 days after surgery, depending on the postoperative evaluation.

Keratopigmentation combined with aesthetic and dental procedures

One of the advantages of choosing Aram Clinic Tunisia is the possibility of combining eye surgery with aesthetic or dental treatments during the same medical stay.

Many international patients choose to associate their keratopigmentation with:

  • A rhinoplasty (nose reshaping surgery) to refine facial harmony;
  • Facial rejuvenation procedures such as eyelid surgery or Botox injections;
  • Dental treatments like veneers, teeth whitening, or dental implants to perfect their smile.

This combination offers a global aesthetic transformation — eyes, face, and smile — under the supervision of a multidisciplinary medical team in a single, well-organized trip.
