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.

This study wants to show the effect of these treatments combination in patients with moderate and severe keratoconus. ...
متن کاملActual Indications for Intracorneal Ring Segment Implantation in Keratoconus

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...
