Up to this time, tatooing of the cornea has been carried out in many kinds of methods, for instance, tatooing by a bundle of needles, by a willow-leaf-shaped knife, by lattice cutting, by injection etc. The authors carried out the intralamellar tatooing of the cornea on the eye with iridodialysis to prevent photophobia and to improve the vision.
