[Keratography (corneal tattooing) in corneal leukoma].

BACKGROUND: Since antiquity attempts have been made to minimize disfigurement and stigmatization of patients with leukoma. Keratography is a relatively new method for imprinting color pigments into the corneal stroma with an entomological needle. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Keratography was performed in 20 patients at the University Eye Hospital, Munich, between November 1997 and September 1999. Patients had either a leukoma that did not tolerate prothesis or had another cloudy corneal disease. The operation was carried out in our outpatient clinic under local anesthesia. RESULTS: There was a single operation in three patients, two operations in nine, three operations in six, and four operations in two. Postoperatively 33% of patients complained of pain. No postoperative bacterial keratitis or perforation occurred. CONCLUSION: All patients were highly satisfied. The long-term stability of color pigments must still be evaluated.
