BrightOcular The Safest Way to Permanently Change Eye Color.

The BrightOcular is a safe, new intraocular implant in the cutting-edge of ocular cosmetics that allows you to change your eye color permanently.

The BrightOcular is a safe, new intraocular implant in the cutting-edge of ocular cosmetics that allows you to change your eye color permanently.  The implant is made using FDA approved medical grade silicone and colorants.  The procedure is quick and painless and can be performed in less than an hour by top-notch BrightOcular surgeons. 

How do we know it’s safe? BrightOcular’s highly accredited surgeons basically use the same techniques that have been used to treat Cataract for 1000’s of years. BrightOcular has had a 100% success rate and no report of complications. The difference with Cataract surgery and BrightOcular’s procedure is the BrightOcular does not remove the natural lens of the eye. The BrightOcular implant has a proprietary design that allows for aqueous flow to reduce the amount of risk associated with these types of surgeries.

Cataract surgery is the removal of the natural lens of the eye (also called “crystalline lens”) that has developed an opacification, which is referred to as a cataract. Metabolic changes of the crystalline lens fibers over time lead to the development of the cataract and loss of transparency, causing impairment or loss of vision. Many patients’ first symptoms are strong glare from lights and small light sources at night, along with reduced acuity at low light levels. During cataract surgery, a patient’s cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic lens to restore the lens’s transparency.**

Following surgical removal of the natural lens, an artificial intraocular lens implant is inserted (eye surgeons say that the lens is “implanted”). Cataract surgery is generally performed by an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) in an ambulatory (rather than inpatient) setting, in a surgical center or hospital, using local anesthesia (either topical, peribulbar, or retrobulbar), usually causing little or no discomfort to the patient. Well over 90% of operations are successful in restoring useful vision, with a low complication rate.2 Day care, high volume, minimally invasive, small incision phacoemulsification with quick post-op recovery has become the standard of care in cataract surgery all over the world**

Artificial iris implant surgery is not difficult if the patient is found eligible for the procedure. The ophthalmologist should perform pre-operative eye tests and evaluate them carefully. Of course everyone will not be eligible for the surgery. The doctor must evaluate each criterion carefully and decide the right size of the implant for use (diameter of the eye, anterior chamber depth, grade of anterior chamber iridocorneal angle, etc.)

The operation lasts for 15 minutes per eye. The artificial lenses are implanted at the same session. The operation is performed under topical anesthesia as a regular cataract surgery. The implant is inserted into the eye through a very small incision which heals without stitches. The patient can leave the hospital an hour after the operation with the eyes open. After the surgery he or she may feel discomfort for the first day. He or she can do his or her daily activities the day after the surgery. The patient will be using eye drops for the first month.

Dr. Schmidt’s artificial iris implant requires removal of the crystalline lens of the patient. This is a kind of cataract surgery-clear lens extraction. This brings more difficulties with it for the patient (problem with nearsight, change in refraction)

The most outstanding side of BrightOcular iris implant is that it decreases surface contact with the iris by half compared to the older implant used by a doctor in Panama. This decreases the complication ratio especially of iritis and glaucoma.

The advantage of the procedure over laser procedure is that implant surgery is reversible. If the patient doesn’t like the color or any complication occurs, the implants can be removed. It is easy to predict how the color will look in the eye of the patient because you know the color of the implant. In laser eye color procedure it will be difficult to predict the color and hue because its effect will not be visible before a couple of days/weeks and the color options have extreme limitations.

So as more and more people are considering the procedure to change their eye color permanently, it’s good to know that although the product itself is relatively new, the procedure has been around for a while.
