Very dangerous fashion cause for concern
For several years, getting a tattoo in the white of the eye was possible, much to the chagrin of health professionals. This practice, which continues to develop, is often associated with very serious complications.
It’s a fad that health professionals could have done without. For several years, steel tattoos have been increasingly practiced despite the risks involved and the indignation of health authorities and the medical field. This trend involves injecting ink into the “whites of the eyes” to permanently dye them. The dye is injected between the two layers of the eye, which is an irreversible process.
Just here: Beyond the “amazing” effect, this practice is often associated with very serious complications. Patients expose themselves to all kinds of consequences, including painful, inflammatory, immune and infectious ones. Newspaper the scientist I conveyed some cases that should, without a doubt, be paused by those who wish to take the initiative.
A 30-year-old man recently made a name for himself after being sent to an ophthalmology emergency room at Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital. He complained of intraocular pressure and the sensation of a foreign body in both eyes. Ophthalmologists noted that he presented under the conjunctiva (the membrane lining the inside of the eyelid) several 5 mm nodules, the arrangement of which corresponded to the four points of ink injection. Despite topical anti-inflammatory therapy, “There is no favorable or unfavorable development apart from the reduction of symptoms” It has not been noticed since.

dramatic case
Another case, even more dramatic, was reported by the daily. It concerns a 24-year-old woman who experienced severe pain and reduced visual acuity after being seduced by the practice. Faced with these painful symptoms, she received many treatments in vain. Two months later, the young woman had to have her eye removed.
In the face of such increasing number of clinical cases, ophthalmologists strongly advise against succumbing to this temptation. For them, this situation described as “extremely dangerous” can have not only serious consequences for vision, but also long-term complications. Currently, health professionals do not have sufficient perspective on this practice. So you better think twice…
