Full-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 کاملUse of PocketMaker Microkeratome for Creation of Corneal Pocket for Foldable Keratoprosthesis KeraKlear Implantation – Case Series
PURPOSE To describe a surgical method for corneal pocket creation for KeraKlear keratoprosthesis implantation by PocketMaker microkeratome. METHODS We implanted keratoprosthesis KeraKlear in 3 patients. In all cases, we used a microkeratome PocketMaker to create a corneal pocket, where the incision was made at a depth of 300 µm with a vibrating diamond blade. RESULTS Although corneas have b...
متن کاملMechanical stability of microkeratome-assisted intracorneal keratoprosthesis implantation.
OBJECTIVE To develop a laboratory model to study intracorneal keratoprosthesis implantation. METHODS A combination microkeratome and artificial anterior chamber system was used to create a hinged lamellar keratectomy on 13 human corneas. After reflecting the flap, the posterior stroma was trephined at either 2.5 or 3.0 mm. A model keratoprosthesis was positioned in the bed. The flap was sutur...

متن کاملClinical outcomes of MyoRing implantation in keratoconic eyes by using the Femtosecond laser technology
Purpose: To assess the outcomes of the insertion of the MyoRing (DIOPTEX, GMBH, Linz, Austria) by applying the Femtosecond Laser Technology (FLT) method in eyes that have keratoconus problem. Methods: A prospective, nonrandomized, clinical examination was managed. 27 eyes of 15 subjects with stable keratoconus (6 females and 9 males), with lifetimes differing from 14 to 49 years were involved. ...
