This is a new technique for achieving satisfactory cosmetic outcome for limbal dermoid in eyes with pigmented irides by using a SMILE lenticule transplantation with interface tattooing after excision of Dermoid. The choristomatous tissue is excised at a lamellar plane minimally below plane of surrounding normal cornea. Scleral component is dissected completely. Corneal tattoo pigment (India ink) is applied in the interface. A SMILE lenticule is applied over the tattoo using fibrin glue. Good cosmetic results were obtained and all patients were satisfied.
