Intrastromal corneal tattooing offers a simple surgical solution for iris defects when other methods fail. This effective procedure provides significant functional and cosmetic repair with no reported side effects.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Techniques
Corneal Procedures

Context:

Iris defects present significant visual and cosmetic challenges.
Traditional iris reconstruction methods (artificial implants, sutures) are not always feasible.
Intrastromal corneal tattooing presents an alternative surgical option.

Purpose:

To detail the intrastromal corneal tattooing procedure for iris defects.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of corneal tattooing in patients with iris anomalies.
To present corneal tattooing as a viable surgical option for damaged or defective irises.

Summary:

A case series detailing intrastromal corneal tattooing in three patients with traumatic iris defects.
The surgical technique was performed on patients with sectoral or total iris defects.
