Intacs Intracorneal Ring Segments Complications in Patients Suffering from Keratoconus
Intacs, intrastromal corneal rings are widely used to reduce myopia, astigmatism, keratometry readings and high order aberrations in patients suffering from keratoconus, almost 15 years have passed from the first procedure which was performed in the eye of a patient with unsatisfactory visual acuity and contact lenses intolerance. Many publications including book chapters, retrospective studies...
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...
متن کاملCombined femtosecond laser-assisted intracorneal ring segment implantation and corneal collagen cross-linking for correction of keratoconus
PURPOSE To assess the safety, predictability, and effectiveness of Keraring intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) insertion assisted by femtosecond laser and corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus correction. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this prospective, noncomparative, and interventional case series, 160 eyes of 100 adult keratoconus patients with poor best-corrected visual acu...
متن کاملRefractive and aberrometric outcomes of intracorneal ring segments for keratoconus: mechanical versus femtosecond-assisted procedures.
OBJECTIVE To compare visual, refractive, and corneal aberrometric outcomes in keratoconic eyes implanted with intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) implantation using either a mechanical or a femtosecond laser-assisted procedure. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS A total of 146 consecutive eyes of 106 patients with the diagnosis of keratoconus (68 unilateral and 39 bil...
متن کاملModified intracorneal ring segment implantations (INTACS) for the management of moderate to advanced keratoconus: efficacy and complications.
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of modified intracorneal ring segment implantation (INTACS) in the management of moderate and advanced keratoconus (KCN). METHODS A modified procedure of intracorneal ring segment (INTACS) implantation was performed in eyes with moderate to advanced keratoconus that were intolerant to contact lens or spectacle correction. The main outcome measures w...
