About this course
This course provides a structured and practical introduction to keratopigmentation, covering its clinical applications, surgical techniques and legal considerations. The content combines theoretical knowledge with real clinical visuals and updated documentation to ensure a complete learning experience.
You will understand the core principles of keratopigmentation and its main clinical indications. The course covers the different types of pigment used, surgical approaches and patient selection criteria. Detailed procedural steps are demonstrated through high-quality videos and clinical case examples, alongside a dedicated module on scientific evidence, safety and the regulatory framework.
Patient selection and pigment tolerance are as decisive as the surgical technique itself.
