In recent years, the fashion for eye color change surgery has become popular in Israel and around the world, and many people want to have the pigment they have dreamed of for years, and now they can make it happen! By changing the pigment, they will get the exact eye color they want and will be able to express themselves and their ideal of beauty perfectly - because what can be done if there are those who were born with an eye color that is not right for them?! Some feel that they really must have a pair of blue eyes, some want to stand out with an amber color, and there are those who really must have this greenish pigment in order to be at peace with themselves and fulfill a fantasy of years. Today, in light of the development of technology, it is possible to turn fantasies into reality and change eye color once and for all through one procedure or another, with the most prominent methods in the field being: Kerato, melanin burning, and colored lens implantation.

So what are the disadvantages and advantages of each method and why is Kerato the safest method of the bunch?

Lens transplant

The lens implantation technique is performed by making a small incision in the cornea of the eye and implanting a lens implant of the selected shade in this layer between the iris and the cornea. Originally, this technique was developed to treat existing defects in the iris, but today it is used for cosmetic purposes to change eye color by inserting an artificial colored lens.

Advantages

Color of your choice – With this technique, you can choose the color lens that suits you and get the exact color.
efficiency – This is an effective method that does change the color of the eyes permanently, in cases where the implant is accepted, of course.

Disadvantages

Invasive – This method is invasive and penetrates the eye cavity, which increases the risk of damage to it.
Implant rejection – As with any implant, there are many cases in which the body rejects the implant, which may lead to the development of serious infections and even loss of vision.
Risk of blindness – This method is not recommended and has caused many cases of blindness around the world and has even been banned from use in many countries.

Melanin burning

Another method of changing eye color is laser surgery designed to lighten eye color, or melanin burning. In this procedure, the laser penetrates the melanin in the iris and breaks it down to make the eyes lighter and take on shades between green and blue. In simpler terms, the laser actually removes the brown melanin and 'lightens' the eye. Melanin is the same pigment – a brown or black pigment that gives the eyes their original color, with the amount of melanin dictating the color of our eyes. The more melanin there is, the darker the eye color and vice versa.

Advantages

New pigment – The eye color will indeed become lighter with a pigment ranging from blue to green.

Disadvantages

Random Pigment Raffle – In this method, there is no implantation of a specific pigment according to the client's choice. Following the burning of melanin, the base of the iris is exposed in its natural color in shades between blue and green. Eye color is like a real lottery!
High risk – To this day, there is much debate about the safety and effectiveness of this method. In the melanin burning technique, the eye is unable to remove all of the burned melanin particles, which may cause intraocular pressure – glaucoma, and even blindness. This method has been banned by law in Europe.

Kerato

The Kerato technique is an advanced, safe method that leads to permanent eye color change without the need for major surgery or general anesthesia. This technique guarantees accurate results while maintaining eye health with over 30 years of experience and zero failures or cases of blindness. This technique is performed by an innovative and sophisticated laser robot called: Visumax 800, which opens a kind of tunnel in the cornea of the eye and creates two tiny holes for the purpose of inserting the pigment - an operation that takes about 8 minutes, with the pigment itself located in the layer closest to the outer layer of the cornea and there is no penetration into deep tissues.

Advantages

Accurate color – The color of the selected pigment can be accurately predicted in the final result.
Pigment change – If the patient regrets and is not satisfied with the existing pigment, it can be replaced with another pigment or even the existing pigment can be strengthened.
Stable pigment – With this method, the injected pigment is stable and safe and does not fade over time.
* Of course, you should pay attention to the doctor's instructions and be sure to wear sunglasses to prevent color fading.
Agility and efficiency – This is a quick, precise, and agile procedure in which the desired shade is achieved in just a few minutes.
Risk-free procedure – Since this is an external, non-invasive procedure, there is no danger of vision deterioration, and the fact is that so far no cases of blindness have been recorded using this method, which has been in existence for over 30 years!

Disadvantages

Pigment weakening – In cases where the patient is not careful about using sunglasses and is exposed to direct sunlight, there is a chance that the pigment will fade.
* It should be noted that even in these cases, additional treatment can be performed to strengthen the pigment.
Side Effects – In most cases, the side effects disappear a few days after the procedure. However, since each body reacts differently to the process, there are a few cases in which the recovery period is longer and lasts several months. In these cases, the patient will of course receive the best medical treatment to improve his condition.

Now that you have understood the disadvantages and advantages of all of the most popular methods for changing eye color today, you will know where it is most worthwhile and safe to deposit your eye color and get the desired result with an accurate, safe, and effective procedure like Kerato.
