Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis following intracorneal ring segment implantation
BACKGROUND Fungal keratitis has been rarely reported following intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) inmplantation. This paper aims to report a case of fungal keratitis with aspergillus fumigatus following ICRS implantation for correction of keratoconus. METHODS A retrospective chart review was done. Data including demographics, clinical history and presentation, microbiological analysis as well a...
متن کاملIntracorneal ring segment implantation in corneas with post-laser in situ keratomileusis keratectasia.
PURPOSE To evaluate the refractive and aberrometric changes in corneas with post-LASIK keratectasia implanted with intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) during a 2-year follow-up. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-four eyes of 25 patients (age range, 20-59 years) with post-LASIK ectasia were included. Ectasia was diagnosed by slit-lamp appearance of corneal thin...
متن کاملFull-Ring Intracorneal Implantation in Corneas With Pellucid Marginal Degeneration
BACKGROUND Keratoconus (KCN) is a progressive, non-inflammatory ectacic disorder characterized by bilateral and asymmetrical conical protrusion of the cornea. MyoRing implantation and Collagen Crosslink (CXL) are two separate effective treatments for all stages of keratoconous. This study wants to show the effect of these treatments combination in patients with moderate and severe keratoconus. ...
متن کاملRefractive and corneal aberrometric changes after intracorneal ring implantation in corneas with pellucid marginal degeneration.
PURPOSE To evaluate refractive, visual, and aberrometric changes in corneas with pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) implanted with intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) during a 6-month follow-up. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS We included 21 consecutive eyes of 15 patients ranging in age from 21 to 73 years old and with a diagnosis of PMD. This diagnosis was made...
متن کاملActual Indications for Intracorneal Ring Segment Implantation in Keratoconus
Intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) are small synthetic implements designed to achieve refractive adjustment by flattening the cornea. Three common types of commercially available ICRS are Intacs, Keraring and Ferrara rings. Low myopia was the initial indication for implantation of ICRS, and indications later included ectatic corneal diseases (such as keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneratio...
