Abstract
Case reportA 31-year-old woman who had undergone surgery for a congenital cataract as a newborn developed bilateral malignant glaucoma, which was refractory to medical-surgical treatment. The patient currently has terminal glaucoma and severe band keratopathy. For esthetic purposes, we performed intrastromal keratopigmentation surgery using ink for skin tattoos supplied in sterile single-dose vessels. No secondary effects or complications were observed. DiscussionKeratopigmentation or corneal tattooing can now be used as a last resort in patients who are unable to tolerate cosmetic contact or intraocular lenses, or in whom corneal transplant is contraindicated.
