Comparing eye color change methods
- Comparison of the different methods
And why is the Flaak method the safest?
Looking for a comparison of eye color changing methods? Today, three main methods are used: plaque (keratopigmentation), melanin burning, and colored lens implantation – each method offers different benefits and risks.
Many people choose laser eye color change to match their personal beauty ideal. Thanks to technological advances, you can choose the method that is right for you, but it is important to know the differences to make a safe and correct decision.
So what are the pros and cons of each method, and what makes Plaque (Kerato) the safest choice?
Inserting a colored lens
In this method, a colored lens of the desired shade is inserted through a small incision in the cornea, into the space between the iris and the cornea. The method was initially developed to treat iris defects, but today it is also used to change eye color for aesthetic purposes.
Strengths
Customize the lens color to your liking, and enjoy accurate and long-lasting eye color. The method is successful in bringing about a permanent change in eye color as long as the implant is properly absorbed and no complications occur.
Weaknesses/Limitations
Lens transplantation is an invasive procedure that involves penetrating the eye, which can cause serious complications such as infections, graft rejection, and even blindness. Due to the high risk, many countries have banned the use of this procedure after many cases of blindness were caused worldwide.
Breaking down or reducing melanin through heating
Lasers break down the melanin in the iris, thus lightening the eye color. This procedure removes the brown pigment and opens up the lighter shades such as green and blue. When the amount of melanin is less, the eye color becomes lighter.
Ma'alot
The melanin burning method naturally brightens the eyes by revealing an internal blue-green hue, without the need for pigment implantation. It creates a soft, unique and fresh look, and is suitable for those who want bright and aesthetic eyes.
Disadvantages — Disadvantages and risks
In the melanin burning method, the laser reveals the natural eye color in shades between blue and green, but the result is not always accurate – similar to a lottery. The method is controversial due to risks such as intraocular pressure (glaucoma) and the risk of blindness, which is why Europe has banned its use.

Flaak Technique: Safe and Innovative Eye Color Change
The plaque technique (keratopigmentation) offers a permanent and safe change in eye color, without the need for open surgery or general anesthesia.
This method is accurate and has been used for over 30 years without any reported cases of blindness. During the procedure, the Visumax 800 laser robot creates a tunnel in the cornea and injects pigment into the superficial layer in just 8 minutes.
When comparing eye color change methods, the method leads due to the effectiveness and safety it provides.
Advantages — Positive points
Disadvantages — Weak points
Exposure to the sun without sunglasses may cause the pigment to fade, but it is always possible to undergo repeated treatment to strengthen it.
Most side effects disappear within a few days after the procedure. In rare cases where the recovery period extends to several months, we provide you with appropriate medical treatment to improve the condition.
Now that you know the pros and cons of the most popular methods for changing eye color, you can confidently choose the best and safest method for you, and get an accurate, safe, and effective result – like with the Flaak Vision procedure.
