A Nevus of Ota is a benign condition characterized by hyperpigmentation of the Sclera (the white "skeleton" of the eyeball), often appearing as a blue-gray ("bruised") eyeball.

Unlike Nevi that affect the Conjunctiva, which is the clear sheet that covers the sclera of the eye (like a thin transparent "Nylon" membrane), this condition cannot be removed, shaved off, or lasered. As such, no successful treatment has ever been proposed or recommended for this condition.

Thanks to revolutionary advances in bio chrome pigment technology, combined with Dr. Sorodi's expertise in conjunctival surgery & ocular surface reconstruction, Dr. Soroudi is the first specialist in the world who discovered a method where he covers the unsightly scleral pigment with a biocompatible custom-made biochrome dye.

He performs this completely novel procedure under topical anesthesia without the need for anesthesia in his eye-specialty surgery centers in Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, in Glendale, California.

Recovery is completely seamless without having any effect on one's vision.

There will be some swelling and redness after the procedure and these resolve over the next week or two after the procedure is complete.

You can return to all of your normal activities in a day or two and the results will continue to improve over the following 3 to 4 weeks.

There is a very small likelihood that you will need a touch up over the next 3 to 6 months and the procedure can be reversed if desired.

This is not an FDA approved procedure And Dr. Soroudi will discuss all of your risks, benefits, and alternatives prior to your procedure.

What it is

Benign Condition

Nevus of Ota is a non-cancerous condition, meaning it doesn't typically pose a direct threat to health, but it can be associated with certain risks.

Hyperpigmentation

The condition is characterized by an increase in melanin (pigment) and melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) in the skin and tissues around the eye.

Appearance

The discoloration can appear as a blue-gray or brown stain, often on the sclera (the white part of the eye), the eyelids, and the skin around the eye.
