Clinical and pathological effects of different acrylic intracorneal ring segments in corneal additive surgery.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential use of less stiff materials based on acrylic copolymers of methyl methacrylate/2-ethylhexyl acrylate (MMA/EHA) as devices to correct, stabilize and improve the effect of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) intracorneal ring segments. MMA/EHA and PMMA intracorneal ring segments were surgically implanted in the corneas of Lohmann Classic hens....

متن کاملQuantitative OCT-based corneal topography in keratoconus with intracorneal ring segments
Custom high-resolution high-speed anterior segment spectral domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was used to characterize three-dimensionally (3-D) corneal topography in keratoconus before and after implantation of intracorneal ring segments (ICRS). Previously described acquisition protocols were followed to minimize the impact of the motions of the eye. The collected set of images was cor...
متن کاملThe use of intracorneal ring segments in keratoconus
Keratoconus is a corneal degeneration that usually appears during puberty and may seriously deteriorate the quality of life of the patients. This corneal disease is today the first indication of corneal transplantation in young patients.
