These techniques are mainly used for therapeutic purposes, in patients with iris defects, corneal scars, leukocoria, strabismic diplopia, and Urrets-Zavalia syndrome Further improvements in the surgical techniques, as well as the dyes used, have led to an increasing interest in corneal tattooing for aesthetic purposes in recent years.<br>Little is known, however, about the safety and effectiveness in healthy human subjects. We report on the safety and effectiveness of a novel aesthetic keratopigmentation method in a clinical case.<br>This case is reported in accordance with the CARE Clinical Case Reporting guideline. The subject provided written informed consent for publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Case Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Subject Information and Presenting Concerns<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A 21-year-old female of Maghreb origin with the wish to change the colour of her eyes presented herself at the clinic. The subject met the eligibility criteria for the procedure: she was in good general health and had no corneal damage; corneal cell count was not &lt;2,500 cells per square millimeter; she had no cataract, no keratoconus, and no retinal abnormalities. Written consent was obtained after the nature and potential risks of the procedure were explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Clinical Findings and Diagnostic Assessment<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The following parameters were assessed: corneal endothelial cell count (specular microscope, SP-1P, Topcon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan); visual field (Model 745, Zeiss Humphrey Instruments, Jena, Germany); refraction in dioptres and visual acuity in logMAR; pachymetry and topography (Topographer, TMS-5, Tomey Corporation, Aichi-ken, Japan); and intraocular pressure (Kerato Refractometer KR-1, Topcon Corporation).<br>The pre-operative (May 18, 2016) and postoperative values for corneal endothelial cell count, refraction and visual acuity, pachymetry, and intraocular pressure are given in <em>Table 1<\/em>. The differential topographical maps are provided as online supplementary material (for all online suppl. material, see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.karger.com\/doi\/10.1159\/000485554\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.karger.com\/doi\/10.1159\/000485554<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Time Line<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Key aspects of the case report are chronologically summarized in <em>Figure 1<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Surgical Procedure and Outcome Assessment<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The pre-operative procedure was as follows: Blephaclean wipes for cleaning the eyelids<br>(1 per eye), twice daily, from 3 days before until the morning of the operation. Five minutes before surgery, a drop of oxybuprocaine 0.4% was instilled in both eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The surgical procedure was as follows: the patient was placed under the laser (femto- second laser VisuMax\u00ae, Carl Zeiss Instruments, Jena, Germany), and the center of the cornea was marked with methylene blue. After positioning of the laser cone, the eyes were treated with the Intra-Corneal Ring (ICR)\u00ae program, making a tunnel for insertion of intracorneal rings (used in the treatment of keratoconus or moderate myopia). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The surgical parameters were as follows: external diameter, 9.3 mm; internal diameter, 5.5 mm; depth incision, 225 \u03bcm; 2 radial incisions at 90\u00b0 and 270\u00b0. The tunnel was then dissected with a specially developed and patented [11] round spatula [11] (reference P5042A and P5043A, Duckworth and Kent, Baldock, UK), which was followed by the insertion of the pigment Neoris\u00ae-Biotic (Paris, France) using the same spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post-operative regimen was as follows: azithromycin (Azyter) eyewash 1 drop twice daily, starting 2 h after the operation, for 3 days; dexamethasone (Dexafree) eyewash 1 drop twice daily, starting 2 h after the operation, for 2 weeks; trehalose (Thealose) 1 drop 4 times daily, starting 2 h after the operation, for 3 months; paracetamol 500 mg 1 tablet every 6 h for 24 h in case of pain; borage oil (Alphalarm) 1 capsule daily, starting the morning after surgery, for 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Follow-Up and Outcomes<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The follow-up consisted of patient-perceived outcomes as well as photographic and ophthalmological assessments. The surgical procedure took place without any complications, and 1 day post-operatively, the patient reported: \u201cHonestly, everything went well, knowing that it is the second day, I have no pain anymore. I find it looks natural enough, I have had some good comments, I am not disappointed.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight months after the procedure, the patient reported to have experienced no problems and being satisfied with the result.<br>The aesthetic aspect before and 8 months after the procedure is depicted in <em>Figure 2<\/em>.<br>The principal ophthalmological safety parameters are given in <em>Table 1.<\/em> It is clear from <em>Table 1<\/em> that these parameters were stable during the follow-up period. In addition, optical coherence tomography pachymetry after 8 months (January 25, 2017) is depicted in <em>Figure 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This figure confirms the stable presence of the pigment at 225 \u03bcm depth. There is no sign of leakage or diffusion of the pigment in the cornea.<br>The visual field was normal (60\u00b0 temporally on both sides). The pre-operative topography compared to the 8-month follow-up topography (differential topography) confirmed that there were no anatomical changes in both corneas (online suppl. material). There were no reported side effects at any time during follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive case report describing the safety and effectiveness of an annular keratopigmentation surgical procedure in a healthy subject, in line with the CARE clinical case reporting guidelines. The short- and medium-term safety of the procedure as employed in this subject is encouraging: there were no signs of leakage, diffusion, inflammation, or any other detrimental effects on the cornea both objectively and subjectively. The pigment utilized appears to be stable. The vision of the patient was not affected negatively in any way, and the aesthetic results were good, as underlined by the high satisfaction of the patient.<br><br>Arguably, the most sensitive parameter of corneal health is the corneal endothelial cell count. It was encouraging to see that this cell count remained stable overall. A limitation of this case report is that 8 months of follow-up are insufficient for the assessment of long-term safety. Further medium- as well as long-term safety data are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We carefully developed our novel surgical technique (referred to as Neoris\u00ae) and piloted its feasibility in an animal study. Also, a special spatula that can be used for the preparation of the corneal tunnel and the insertion of the pigment was designed and developed. The author (F.F.) was the first to use this technique for aesthetic purposes in humans in December 2013. This concerned a cancer patient who had a long-held desire to change eye color. Contact with this patient was maintained, and in August 2017, she reported her continued satisfaction with the results.<br>She reported her continued satisfaction with the results as well as an absence of any procedure-related side effects. The latter is encouraging from a long-term safety perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important aspect of the procedure is the pigment that is used. These pigments need to be highly stable and safe but also need to look \u201cnatural\u201d from an aesthetic perspective.<br>Further development and improvements in this regard are still possible and required.<br>The use of corneal tattooing procedures for aesthetic purposes is relatively novel in the field of ophthalmology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To our knowledge, 1 other center developed a similar procedure in response to the need for treating iris and cornea defects They published a case se- ries on aesthetic corneal tattooing using 3 different techniques, including femtosecond-assisted keratopigmentation . In general, the safety of the procedure was confirmed.<br>However, in some of their patients, a second procedure for correction of the color was required, and all patients reported mild to moderate photophobia, ranging from 2 weeks to 3 months post-operatively. In our patient, no color correction was necessary, nor was photo-phobia reported post-operatively, and the aesthetic aspect seems to be more natural. The different pigments we are using could explain this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date (October 2017), we have treated 63 cases with this procedure, with positive results in terms of safety and effectiveness. As a next step, we plan to publish a case series, showing results in a wide variety of subjects.<br>For this procedure to be acceptable for purely aesthetic purposes, an excellent safety profile is an important requirement. This case and our further experiences obtained to date are highly encouraging in this regard. Our procedure is a promising safe and effective emerging possibility for those who want femtosecond-assisted annular keratopigmentation for purely aesthetic reasons, as well as for patients with ophthalmological pathologies affecting the appearance of the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acknowledgements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We thank Dr. Mark Bischoff and the late Dr. Jean-Paul Tiziano for their help with the development of this surgical technique since its inception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Statement of Ethics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This case is reported in accordance with the CARE Clinical Case Reporting guideline.
