INTRODUCTION Laser Vision Correction is not always possible for the treatment of myopia. The aim of this paper is to present results after MyoRing implantation in myopic eyes who in their majority were not eligible for LVC. Safety, effectivity and patient selection is discussed. The aim of the treatment was to be spectacle independent in everyday-life. MATERIALS AND METHODS 19 myopic eyes of ...

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. ...

results the mean udva (logmar) improved significantly from 1.13 ± 0.21 preoperatively to 0.24 ± 0.13 postoperatively (p < 0.001), and the mean cdva (logmar) improved significantly from 0.39 ± 0.12 to 0.19 ± 0.09 (p < 0.001). the mean cylinder of manifest refraction decreased significantly by 4.00 diopter (d) (p < 0.001). the mean spherical equivalent error (se) decreased significantly from −6.0...

PURPOSE To evaluate the biomechanics of corneal ring implants by providing a related mathematical theory and biomechanical model for the treatment of myopia and keratoconus. METHODS The spherical dome model considers the inhomogeneity of the tunica of the eye, dimensions of the cornea, lamellar structure of the corneal stroma, and asphericity of the cornea. It is used in this study for calcul...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mechanical implantation of myoring in keratoconic patients with high myopia. this study comprised 32 eyes of 32 keratoconic patients (14 males, 18 females) with high myopia. all underwent myoring (dioptex gmbh) implantation using mechanical dissection with a pocket maker microkeratome and completed three months of follow-up. the main outcome m...
