چکیده

Intracorneal ring employment for treating ectasia is widespread. Although the mechanism of action of intracorneal rings in the regularization of the corneal surface after its implantation is well known in most cases, there are still many doubts. We present a case of implanted intracorneal rings, where, despite the peculiar position of the rings, the patient gains lines of visual acuity and keratoconus remains stable.

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Acute Keratitis After Intracorneal Ring Segment Implantation

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to report the first case of acute bacterial keratitis produced by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus after the implantation of two intracorneal ring segments during an uneventful procedure for treating keratoconus in a 13-year-old child. CASE REPORT A patient with grade III keratoconus underwent an implantation of intracorneal ring segments ...

Actual 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...

Effect of asymmetric quantum dot rings in electron transport through a quantum wire

The electronic conductance at zero temperature through a quantum wire with side-connected asymmetric quantum ring (as a scatter system) is theoretically studied using the non-interacting Hamiltonian Anderson tunneling method. In this paper we concentrate on the configuration of the quantum dot rings. We show that the asymmetric structure of QD-scatter system strongly influences the amplitude an...
