Modern keratopigmentation can provide an excellent cosmetic appearance for disfiguring corneal pathologies. In this case of cosmetic therapeutic keratopigmentation, the authors report surgical techniques and outcomes including laser parameters, pigmentation patterns, and cosmetic evaluation. A 70-year-old male presented with dense leukoma and no light perception. Black pigment was used for the pupil and brown for the iris. The patient reported stable pigmentation, excellent pigment patterns, and high satisfaction.
