Eye Color Change Surgery: What to Expect Before, During, and After
Although laser eye color change surgery is a safe and transforming operation, one naturally wonders what to expect along the way. From preparation to recovery, this book describes every step of the process so you may make the most wise choice.
Before the Surgery: Preparation Strategies
- In a pleasant laser treatment chair, you will sit straight forward.
- Numbing eye drops are used; no needles or injections are involved.
- A low-energy, selective laser gently lowers iris melanin content.
- The procedure is non-invasive, rapid, painless.
Most patients just experience a warm sensation or fleeting flutter of light. Over the first few weeks, initial color changes could seem slow.
During the Procedure: What Happens?
The procedure takes approximately 10 minutes per eye and is performed in a sterile outpatient setting. Targeting just the melanin inside the iris, the non-invasive laser progressively lowers pigment to expose lighter colors beneath.
After the Surgery: Recovery and Results
Most patients resume normal activity within 24–48 hours. You may experience mild light sensitivity or dry eyes, which typically resolve quickly. Visible changes in eye color become noticeable after a few weeks and continue to improve over time.
