Hello @maraeyes123, I'm not sure how long corneal tattooing lasts. I don't have personal experience with that specifically. I have had corneal transplants due to Fuchs dystrophy and have photophobia due to central sensitization. Are you sensitive to light? Have you been diagnosed with an eye condition?
