Iris implant surgery is a relatively new procedure and, as with any surgery, there are some risks involved. The most common risks are infection and inflammation. In rare cases, the implant can cause damage to the iris or the surrounding tissue.
The surgery itself is fairly simple. A small incision is made in the eye and the implant is inserted into the iris. The implant is made of a biocompatible material that slowly releases a colored pigment over time. The pigment change is permanent and can be used to change the color of the iris.
Iris implant surgery is considered to be a safe procedure. The risks are relatively low and the results are permanent. If you are considering this surgery, be sure to consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss the risks and benefits.
