Corneal staining (tattooing) has been advocated in the management of patients with corneal leucomata, iris malformations or following iridotomies. Functional visual benefits can result from the reduction of aberrant light directed through iris defects that may cause glare and light scatter, in addition to cosmetic improvements for those with opacification. Inks, classified as stationery or cosmetic products, offer an economic alternative to currently available classical corneal staining agents (metallic salts). Furthermore, they may be used to good clinical effect with an intrastromal lamellar pocket technique.
角膜染色（纹身）在角膜白斑、虹膜畸形或虹膜切开术后的患者管理中得到了提倡。通过减少通过虹膜缺陷引导的异常光线，可以实现功能视觉获益，这些异常光线可能导致眩光和光散射，此外，对于那些有混浊的患者还可以改善外观。墨水被归类为文具或化妆品，为目前可用的经典角膜染色剂（金属盐）提供了一种经济的替代品。此外，它们可以通过基质层状袋技术获得良好的临床效果。
