Step by Step

How the KERATO® Color Change Procedure Works

Keratopigmentation is performed in three main steps:

Laser-created tunnel

A femtosecond laser creates a precise intracorneal tunnel in the clear front part of the eye (the cornea). The natural iris and the inside of the eye are not opened.

Placement of medical-grade pigment

A specialized pigment is introduced into this tunnel, in front of your natural iris color. The pigment modifies the apperent eye color, creating the new visible shade.

Precision-driven outcome

Color selection, intensity, and technique are carefully planned during the pre-procedure eye exam to achieve the desired result from the first treatment, minimizing the need for additional intervention and supporting a smooth recovery.

How We Help You Choose Your New Eye Color

You don’t have to choose your shade alone.

During your Pre-Procedure Eye Exam, Dr. Movshovich and the team will:

Review your natural iris color, skin tone, and facial features
Discuss whether you prefer a subtle change or a more noticeable transformation
Send photo simulations with all available KERATO® colors (usually in medium intensity)
Explain how lighting, eye position in the orbit, pupil size, and pigment characteristics may influence the final look
Help you decide what will feel most natural for your lifestyle and adjust the parameters of the procedure according to your request and desired outcome

Your Pre-Procedure Eye Exam also confirms that your eyes are healthy and safe for the procedure.

Exams are available in both our New York and Miami offices.

Recovery: What to Expect After Surgery

Keratopigmentation at KERATO® is performed by Alexander Movshovich, MD, PhD, a Clinical Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Weill Cornell with 40+ years in ophthalmic surgery and extensive experience in keratopigmentation.

The procedure is performed with topical anesthetic drops; most patients describe pressure rather than pain.
Vision is typically blurry for 24 hours, with temporary light sensitivity or a foreign-body sensation.
Most patients resume normal routines within 2–3 days while continuing prescribed postoperative drops.
When clinically appropriate, up to two color-intensity adjustments may be available after the initial procedure.
