Keratopigmentation is “Changing of the eye color by placing specially colored pigments into superficial Cornea”. This technique was first utilized in 2013 by Dr. Ferrari In Paris, France. Since then, thousands of patients have been successfully treated using this method without any unexpected complications. We’re excited to offer this advanced eye-color-changing procedure to our patients in the Tri-State Area and beyond.
In simple terms, this procedure involves placement of specially prepared color pigment particles into meticulously created corneal channels by the most advanced Bladeless Femtosecond laser. These channels are created in a circular fashion around the pupil at a predetermined width according to each individual’s corneal anatomy.
The process requires a high level of accuracy by a very experienced VisuMax surgeon, as the proper centration of the channels around the pupils and symmetry between the eyes are of great significance, for best and most natural-appearing results.

I feel so very blessed to have found out about the Manhattan Lasik Center. I felt like I was at an exclusive spa and I had a VIP pass. The staff was simply amazing, headed by Thai, who was informative and super patient. The icing to this experience was Dr. Niksarli, who absolutely authored the book in a bedside manner! His tender yet highly professional treatment was so heartwarming. I felt absolutely NO pain during the whole procedure or thereafter. My family is in awe and planning their own visit to Dr Niksarli.

The way Dr. Niksarli said the procedure was going to happen is exactly how it went. I was very comfortable. I had a very uneventful night the night after the surgery. There was no pain during the surgery and after during the recovery. I am loving my results!
