After a few years of basic research and evaluation of possible alternatives, in 2012 we began the technological development and the clinical studies of the solution with laser application [14]. A priori offered two clear advantages over the previous possibilities, greater security because it is...
EYCL1 gene is responsible for the green and blue color of the eyes on chromosome 19. On chromosome 15 the responsible for the brown color is EYCL2 gene. Also in chromosome 15 it is EYCL3 gene that causes pigmentation of skin and hair, and whose...
To address the challenge of achieving good predictability of laser iridoplasty, we first had to clarify the scientific bases that determine the color of the eyes. The fundamental law is genetic and it is the Theory of the two genes, green and blue (Figure 6)....
We performed a series of studies with specialized anatomopathologists of corpse eyes with different degrees of pigmentation. The main conclusions we reached were the following (Figures 1, 2 & 3): Figure 1: Histological simple of a low pigmented iris. Eumelanin (dark pigment) is highly concentrated and...
Ocular cosmetic alterations have been treated conservatively so far with contact lenses and aesthetic prostheses, and through different types of surgical interventions. Deformities, irregularities, defects (colobomas) or total absences of the iris (anhiridia) have been treated with intraocular implants (Ophtec, Morcher or Dr Schmidt). In...
