Eye Tattoo Technique
The eye may suffer from bruises, diseases, or successive operations, as a result of which it does not see the light, and in addition to that, its shape from the outside becomes white, and unobtrusive in appearance.
In these cases of complex eye diseases, the optic nerve becomes completely damaged and there is no hope for this eye to see.
But the white bad look of the eye disturbs the patient and causes everyone around him to ask about it in an annoying way.
Therefore, the patient wants a solution for the bad shaped eye.
Many ophthalmologists advise in such cases to remove the eye or empty it and place a glass ball in its place and then place the glass eye outside to give the desired shape, but the issue of removing the eye or emptying it in itself is rejected by many people because the external view without placing the external glass eye is worse than The view before extirpation or emptying, and also the patient must remove the external glass eye to clean it every few days, and this in itself causes psychological problems for the patient,
If we add to these disadvantages the problem of the possibility of the inner ball of the farm leaving the place of the emptied eye and moving it from its place and the need for other operations to settle it, then emptying the eye or eradicating it in fact becomes a very troublesome matter.
Here comes the importance of eye tattoos, as the original affected eye is colored in colors similar to the other healthy eye by coloring the cornea of the affected eye, which has become white due to injury in a period not exceeding half an hour under local or general anesthesia according to the patient’s desire and according to the degree of sensitivity of the affected eye to pain,
This tattoo or the coloring of the affected eye in most cases extends its effect for life, but sometimes the intensity of this color may diminish after several years, and in this case, the tattoo can be repeated again.
Coloring the affected eye with the eye tattoo technique has several advantages and advantages:
- There is no excision or emptying of the original eye
- The eye does not lose its natural movement, but continues to move like a healthy eye
- the technology is easy and does not require complex devices
- No external tools or devices are implanted or placed in it
