History of the procedure

Similar manipulations with the color of the eyes were made by the ancient Greeks and Romans. This was done to correct pigment spots, as well as they believed that this procedure is able to return the vision. Roman physicians used a fine needle to treat such a condition as cataracts.

They used the needle to clean the lens, after which vision was partially restored. Masters of that time experimented a lot with needles and pigments. Often, such manipulations led to undesirable consequences. It was performed only in extreme cases, when there was no other way out.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, corneal tattooing has been considered a cosmetic procedure, and it gained popularity in the early 2000's. In modern history, the first eye tattoo was performed with a syringe in the United States in July 2007.

How do I get a tattoo on my eyes?

Before the procedure, you need to make sure that you are not allergic to the anesthetic and components of the dye used.

• The eyeball is treated with an anesthetic. You need to make sure that the master performs the work with gloves and treats the needle before the injection.
• The dye is injected into the eye membrane, the sclera. Unpleasant sensations from the introduction of the pigment will be present in spite of anesthesia. It is necessary to ensure that the master fills each eye with a new needle, this will reduce the risk of undesirable consequences.
• After removing the needle, the rest of the dye is removed.

Basically, the dye is injected in three places (upper, middle and lower lids), and within half an hour it spreads evenly over the eye membrane. Often the first time complete coverage of the iris is not achieved, so another session is required.

It is worth noting that the procedure is not cheap. The average cost of eye tattooing is around 50,000 rubles. It is necessary to carry out the procedure only in licensed centers, where you will not be able to cheat. There have been cases where printer ink has been injected into the retina.

Possible complications after eye tattooing.

None of the salons will guarantee you safety and 100% result after the procedure. This is due to the fact that no pigment or dye is certified or patented. Possible complications:

• Retinal detachment. Dye is injected directly into different layers of the retina, making retinal detachment a common problem.
• Partial or complete blindness.
• Increased sensitivity to light.
• Chronic tearing.
• Retinal dilatation.
• Inflammation or infection.
• Development of glaucoma or cataracts.
• If the technician makes a mistake during the procedure, there is a possibility of damage to the eye.
• The paint may not spread evenly over the eyeball.

Ophthalmologists warn those wishing to fill the eyes that if an infection develops, if it is started, the probability of losing vision is almost 100%. Before carrying out the procedure, it is recommended to have a mandatory consultation with a specialist.

To avoid undesirable consequences, you need to strictly follow the recommendations given to you by the master.
