Eye color change procedures, also known as iris color change procedures or keratopigmentation, are cosmetic surgeries aimed at altering the color of the iris, the colored part of the eye. While eye color change procedures are still relatively uncommon there are a few techniques that have been explored for this purpose:

1. Iris implant surgery: This procedure involves surgically inserting a colored iris implant into the eye to change its appearance. The implant is typically made of a biocompatible material, such as silicone or hydrogel, and is customized to match the desired eye color. The implant is placed in front of the natural iris, effectively covering it and changing the color of the eye. However, this procedure is associated with significant risks, including damage to the eye structures, inflammation, infection, and vision loss. Additionally, it may not produce natural-looking results, and the long-term safety and effectiveness of iris implants are still uncertain.

2. Laser iris depigmentation: Laser iris depigmentation is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser energy to remove pigment from the iris, resulting in a lighter eye color. During the procedure, a laser is directed at the surface of the iris, targeting and breaking down the pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). Over time, as the treated areas heal, the iris may gradually lighten in color. However, this technique is not widely practiced, and its safety, effectiveness, and long-term outcomes have not been extensively studied. Additionally, there is a risk of damaging the delicate structures of the eye and causing vision problems.

3. Keratopigmentation procedure: by far the most efficient using refractive technology and eye pigmentation if provided by the right certified clinic.

Clinics and hospitals in Belgium is something local. As the country has Dutch and French speaking areas, most hospitals and clinics are managed by local municipalities. Also Belgium covers all type of treatment and the number of medical centers is well sorted between clinics and hospitals. Some hospitals offer a large number of beds and therefore the number of clinics and hospitals is not the main thing but the overall number of beds offered by all medical centers. Most clinics are around the capital, Bruxels but you will find clinics in Flemish part in Bruges, Ostend but also Ypres or Kortrijk, Many clinics are JCI accredited and well rated.

You can also find in Ghent a medical Universtiy as well as close to Antwerp. Bruxels and its surroundings offers by far the largest medical offer for local and international patients with various CHU or local Hospitals in Bruxels. Each block of the capital has its own hospital and when it comes to the French speaking part you will find CHU in Liege, Namur or Charleroy for instance. Dental centers are everywhere in Belgium but not so many have their own laboratories for dental implants and crown implants.
