Eye Color

Question
Hello if the eye was to suffer a thermal heat burn and the heat charred the eye would it cause a color change by darkening the color of the iris if so would there be any way of restoring the eyes color back to the way it was. Thank you.


Answer
Dear Peter,



There may be treatments which are more cosmetic but depend on the eye condition.



We need to know the extent of injury, as to what part has been injured. Is the cornea alone been affected? or there is accompanying intraocular damage as well.



Please get an ophthalmologist to examine and send us the report on dranand@lasikindia.in



We can guide you better after seeing the report.
