Tattoo Your Eyeball?
2008-02-28 21:33:00 Recently, tattooing with its ink and attention has grabbed the hearts and eyes of youth. Ink is not just being applied to the skin, but injected over the white of the eye. Tattoo ing of the cornea has been practiced for over 2,000 years to correct corneal scarring and leucomas. It is acceptable if performed by an eye surgeon or ophthamologist. There is a difference.Dr. Steven Maskin -- If you value the gift of sight, stay away from tattooing the white of your eye. The risks are many including perforation of the eye with subsequent retina detachment and infection with permanent loss of the eye. If that’s not bad enough, the tattoo pigment may cause inflammation and pain. And if the pigment was injected into a blood vessel and traveled back toward the brain, well this could cause a stroke.
