Jessica White, a former supermodel and reality star, just had a controversial eye surgery. The beautiful Jessica had surgery inside her eyeball to change her eye color to hazel, Media Take Out has learned.
Jessica told her fans, “My healing is almost complete since I did my eye surgery on Monday. I’m in love with my outcome. 1st I can see much better now that my stigmatism has been taken care of. 2nd I love my new eye color.”
“I’ll share more about my quick procedure after Christmas With full details and information…. Thank you to the best team and eye doctor on the planet I love you guys so much!”
Jessica underwent laser keratopigmentation, or “corneal tattooing.” It doesn’t change the color of the iris but instead adds color to the cornea to conceal the color of the iris.
Keratopigmentation uses lasers to create a series of circular tunnels of uniform depth in the cornea. A color dye is then injected into the tunnels. The use of robotic lasers ensures a more even color distribution than older “needle-puncture” techniques.
Despite the accuracy of this technique, keratopigmentation is not without risks. While every effort is made to stabilize the eye and head, any inadvertent movement can lead to errors and possible injury.
Other complications can arise after the procedure.
- Inconsistent eye color: Caused by the uneven distribution of the dye
- Color fading: Due to the migration of the dye or the leakage of dye into the corneal space
- Corneal perforation: A puncture of the cornea that can lead to fluid leakage, vision changes, and the “sinking” of the corneal dome
- Light sensitivity: Caused by the abnormal refraction of light as it bounces off the opaque edges of the treated cornea
- Reaction to the dye: Leading to uveitis (inflammation of the middle layer of your eye) or corneal neovascularization (the formation of new blood vessels in the cornea)
- Bacterial eye infection: Which increases the risk of corneal ulcers and scarring
- Laser keratopigmentation is contraindicated for people with corneal diseases or those who have had refractive eye surgery like LASIK.
The cost of keratopigmentation can vary by the provider and type of equipment used, but a casual review of providers suggests that costs start at roughly $10,000 for both eyes.
