Why choose keratopigmentation?

Keratopigmentation is today the most advanced method to change your eye color permanently, naturally, and safely. It stands out from other techniques thanks to its precision, comfort, and visible results under all lighting conditions.

Here’s why so many patients choose FLAAK surgery for their eye color change:

  • Permanent, maintenance-free result: no need for colored contact lenses to remove daily or makeup to enhance the color.
  • Natural appearance: the NEORIS cornea-compatible pigment is inserted into the cornea for a harmonious result, without affecting the pupil or vision.
  • No eye discomfort: no more irritation, dryness, or blurry vision caused by contact lenses.
  • The best alternative to eye depigmentation: unlike depigmenting lasers, which are often ineffective and only visible under strong light, FLAAK provides an eye color change that’s visible in all lighting conditions.
  • Safe procedure without intraocular implants: it avoids the serious risks associated with silicone implants (glaucoma, corneal damage, blindness).
  • Non-invasive aesthetic eye procedure: performed externally, without hospitalization, by specialized ophthalmologists.

How can I change my eye color?

Changing your eye color – who hasn’t dreamed of it? There are temporary methods to change your eye color, such as wearing colored contact lenses or using makeup tricks to enhance your natural shade. But the most long-lasting and precise way to change your eye color is FLAAK (aesthetic annular keratopigmentation).

The FLAAK eye color change method is safe, reliable, and fast! 

In just one hour, you can achieve the eye color you’ve always dreamed of. No more removing colored lenses every day, no more discomfort from wearing them, and no more risk of corneal infections caused by contact lenses..

Eye color change with femtosecond laser: Surgical principles

Femtosecond laser-assisted aesthetic keratopigmentation (FLAAK® technique) is an innovative eye surgery procedure, performed externally and without hospitalization. Here are the key steps:

On the day of the procedure, the patient is welcomed at the clinic, with no need for hospitalization. 

Local anesthesia makes the procedure painless. The femtosecond laser creates microscopic tunnels in the cornea while preserving the pupil and vision.

The NEORIS dye, a cornea-compatible pigment, is precisely inserted. The desired effect is natural, balanced, and replicates the contrasts of a healthy eye. The procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes for both eyes, performed during the same session. The eye color change is immediate.

As soon as you leave the operating room, you’ll be able to see your new look in the mirror. This is often an emotional moment, and the “before/after” results are striking. Follow-up care is provided to ensure proper healing and the stability of the eye color change.

Performed for aesthetic purposes, FLAAK (Femto Laser Aesthetic Annular Keratopigmentation), a cutting-edge technique to change eye color, offers many advantages for individuals looking to safely change their eye color.

  • Permanent eye color change: Thanks to the insertion of a pigment into the cornea, this modification of the apparent color of the iris is long-lasting, with no need for contact lenses or daily maintenance.
  • Natural and aesthetic result: This eye pigmentation closely mimics the natural shades of the iris, creating a harmonious and realistic gaze—whether your desired eyes are blue, green, hazel, or brown.
  • Enhanced safety: Compared to silicone implants or eye depigmentation, this technique minimizes complications such as glaucoma, infections, or elevated intraocular pressure.
  • Permanent alternative to colored contact lenses: Choose a long-lasting, hassle-free solution to change your eye color. Unlike cosmetic lenses, which are often uncomfortable and require daily use, keratopigmentation offers complete freedom while ensuring a natural and aesthetic result.

FLAAK relies on the use of a Femtosecond Laser, a technology commonly used in refractive eye surgery. It creates a microscopic tunnel in the cornea to insert a safe and long-lasting pigment. This innovative procedure respects the pupil, preserves vision, and avoids any intrusion into the deep eye, unlike artificial iris implants. It is the gold standard for any eye color change procedure.

Wondering how to change or lighten your eye color? FLAAK offers a wide range of available shades to create a truly unique gaze:

  • Light blue
  • Intense green
  • Pearl gray
  • Golden hazel
  • Light brown or dark brown

Whether you have light eyes or brown eyes, keratopigmentation allows for a stable and realistic change in your eye color.

Here are the available colors from NEORIS

The cost of a keratopigmentation procedure typically ranges between $5,700 and $12,000, depending on the clinic, country, and services included. This price covers evaluation by an ophthalmic surgeon, the surgery itself, and post-operative follow-up. Financing options may be available for adult patients.

Yes, when performed by an experienced ophthalmologist, FLAAK procedures are generally safe. Can eye color be changed without risk? Yes, corneal pigmentation is better tolerated than implants or eye depigmentation. However, as with any surgery, there is a low risk of complications, which your doctor will explain in detail. These risks are minimized through proper medical indication and adherence to the post-operative protocol.

Looking to change your eye color? Here’s an overview of the most common techniques:

  • Keratopigmentation (FLAAK): Corneal tattooing performed with a femtosecond laser, inserting a pigment into the cornea. Permanent, aesthetic result with no impact on the pupil or vision.
  • Iris implants: Insertion of a silicone implant inside the eye. A highly invasive method with risks of glaucoma, cataracts, rejection, or trauma-induced glaucoma (e.g., car accident).
  • Eye depigmentation: A procedure aiming to lighten the eyes using lasers, but results are often only visible under strong lighting and carry an increased risk of intraocular pressure.
  • Colored contact lenses: A temporary solution. Require daily maintenance and may cause infections, irritation, or reduced vision.
