Eye Tattooing Risk—Don’t Turn A Blind Eye

IF you think the common tattoos are so over, you’ve got another think coming, eye tattooing maybe can attract you.
To tattoo the eyes, the doctors used two different procedures. First they used a traditional needle with ink on it, but when the ink didn’t hold, they switched to a syringe that injected ink into the eye. The most recent posts indicate that all was well, with one of the guys saying it felt like he had something in his eye.
But that’s not to say it’s a good idea.
“Cosmetic tattooing of the cornea can be extremely dangerous,” advises Dr. Sandra Belmont, a clinical associate professor of ophthalmology at Weill Cornell Medical Center-New York Presbyterian Hospital. “Infection, perforation and hemorrhage are among the potential complications.”
However, there are good reasons for getting an eye tattoo. If a person has suffered eye trauma - burning, laceration or bruising - scars can result, which a tattoo can cover. It can also help people with leucoma - an opaque blemish, usually white in color -and return the eye’s appearance to one of more normalcy.
