Loss of pigmentation around the eyes can be improved with medications under a doctor's guidance. Commonly used medications include aloe gel and vitamin E ointment. If the pigmentation loss is severe and medication proves ineffective, laser treatment at a hospital may be considered. This typically involves using laser light of a specific ultraviolet wavelength to stimulate tyrosinase activity in the skin, thereby promoting melanin production.
