Keratopigmentation lasts one hour.

It consists in the intracorneal injection of pigments after femtosecond laser tunnelling. The femtosecond laser is the same as the one used for refractive surgery. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, by applying a few drops of an anesthetic eye drop to the eye, without any sting. The injected pigment covers the initial color of the eye.

The paste-like consistency of the pigment avoids corneal suturing.

The color and opacity of the pigment allows to correct both the visual functional problem (product opaque to light) and the aesthetic aspect of the iris.
