In January 2019, two television reports were devoted to the keratopigmentation technique developed by Dr Ferrari. The French television channel France 2 spoke of it in its nightly news programme, and another generalist French channel, M6 carried a report of the method in its midday news programme. They particularly considered two patients who wanted to change their eye colour.

A new look

France 2 spoke to Demian, an American who travelled 9000 kilometres from Los Angeles to be operated upon by Dr Ferrari, the pioneer of eye colour change operations. The patient, who always wanted to have blue eyes, was undecided because of his dark skin.

To help future patients make their choice, Neoris offers a chance to do simulations and test out the various colours on offer. That crucial stage persuaded Demian to go for an eye colour change. After a 45-minute operation, Demian was very excited to discover his new eyes. Viewers were then introduced to Pieter, a patient from Brussels who had opted for the Neoris technique six months before and who described his new look as “brighter and more positive”. Another patient was interviewed in the report on the Neoris technique aired by the M6 channel. Sonia, a brown-eyed young woman aged 25, decided to go for aesthetic surgery to get blue eyes. She had always wanted a lighter colour, and her dream was to have blue eyes like her mother. The procedure was carried out in Paris, in a specialist clinic. After a few days of adaptation, she says she is absolutely delighted with her new eye colour and is even thinking of a touch-up in a few months for a more intense blue hue.

45-minute procedure

The journalists also discuss the method itself, explaining how the dye is deposited in the cornea. A laser is used to incise the cornea, which allows the surgeon to create a micro-tunnel in which the dye will be deposited. Dr Ferrari specifies that it is a medical dye manufactured in Marseille.

Other methods can be unsafe

M6 and France 2 also mentioned the existence of other methods for changing eye colour. These are iris depigmentation and the insertion of a silicone implant, which is placed between the natural iris and the cornea. They are both extremely unsafe and are prohibited in France for that very reason.

These operations can lead to glaucoma and even blindness, unlike the keratopigmentation method, for which no serious complications have been reported to date.

For the keratopigmentation method: no serious complications have been reported to date.

Interview with Dr Ferrari Neoris is in the news, in an article on eye surgery published by Paris Match magazine in December 2019. This prestigious French weekly, which covers national and international news, has carried an interview with Dr Ferrari. The article, which includes before/after photographs of patients operated with the Neoris technique, goes into some of the questions relating to keratopigmentation.

In particular, it addresses the beginnings of the technique, the cost of the procedure, the kind of people who want to change eye colour, the different techniques available, the safety of the operation and what it involves.

Neoris since 2011

Dr Dr Ferrari began the interview by mentioning the year that marked the start of the Neoris technique. Indeed, 2011 was the year when Dr Ferrari had the idea of creating a surgical technique to change eye colour that would be different from those already in existence, and mainly much safer. It involves injecting pigment in the cornea, using the same femtosecond laser as that used to correct shortsightedness. Two years later, the first patient was operated upon successfully.

The interviewer then asked this question: “Who are the people who want to change eye colour?” Dr Ferrari declared that most of those who opted for eye surgery had brown eyes. Most of them choose Riviera blue, which accounts for 50% of demand.

Besides, Dr. Ferrari adds that the dyes are manufactured and marketed in France by Neoris. After using patented tools, he wanted to go further in the collaboration with Neoris to offer a customized patient experience managed 100% by the company.

“Is this procedure entirely safe?” Dr Ferrari confirmed that it is absolutely safe. It is also painless. For forty-five minutes, the eye is anaesthetised with drops. Even though 30% of patients may experience temporary irritation or dazzling, there are no other effects. To date, there has been no allergic reaction to the pigment.

Nearly 1,000 patients, including some from other continents, have already benefited from this permanent eye color change operation using the Neoris method.
