An injury, previous surgery or a condition present from birth can leave the pupil enlarged, irregular or off-centre, or leave a gap in the iris.<\/p>\n<p>Pupil and iris reconstruction (pupilloplasty) repairs the iris to improve its appearance and reduce symptoms such as glare and light sensitivity. It is not a cosmetic procedure to change eye colour.<\/p>\n<h2>Who it&#x27;s for<\/h2>\n<ul>\n  <li>People with an enlarged or irregular pupil after eye injury.<\/li>\n  <li>Iris damage or a displaced pupil after previous eye surgery.<\/li>\n  <li>Congenital iris defects, such as a coloboma (a gap in the iris).<\/li>\n  <li>Symptoms of glare, light sensitivity or double images related to the iris, or concern about the eye&#x27;s appearance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How it works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n  <li>Assessment: a detailed examination of the iris, lens, cornea and retina, since many patients have other eye conditions that need treatment at the same time.<\/li>\n  <li>Surgery: under local or general anaesthesia, fine stitches are used to close gaps or reshape the pupil. In some cases this is combined with other procedures, such as cataract surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Recovery<\/h2>\n<ul>\n  <li>Redness, light sensitivity and blurred vision are common for the first few weeks.<\/li>\n  <li>Drops are used for several weeks to control inflammation.<\/li>\n  <li>Results depend on the amount of iris tissue remaining and the health of the rest of the eye. Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations with you before surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pv-faq\">\n  <details>\n    <summary>Can this surgery change my eye colour?<\/summary>\n    <p>No. This surgery repairs the existing iris. It is not a cosmetic procedure to change eye colour; cosmetic iris implants used for that purpose are associated with serious complications.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n  <details>\n    <summary>Will it improve glare?<\/summary>\n    <p>Reducing the pupil size or closing an iris gap often reduces glare, but the degree of improvement varies.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n  <details>\n    <summary>Can it be done with cataract surgery?<\/summary>\n    <p>Yes, in suitable cases both can be done in the same operation. Your surgeon will advise on the most suitable plan for your eye.<\/p>\n  <\/details>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Your care team<\/h2>\n<ul>\n  <li>Surgery: Dr. Omar Khaled Al-Duwailah<\/li>\n  <li>Assessment and follow-up: Dr. Omar Khaled Al-Duwailah, with our specialist medical team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"pv-cta\">\n  <h2>Book an appointment<\/h2>\n  <p>To book an iris and pupil assessment, message us on WhatsApp at +965 2220 4200 or call 22204200.
