متن کاملKeraRing intrastromal corneal ring segments for correction of keratoconus.
PURPOSE Intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRSs) are small arc-like implants that are being used increasingly as a minimally invasive treatment for patients with keratoconus. This study assessed the effectiveness of KeraRing implants, a type of ICRS, to treat keratoconus. METHODS Retrospective case series descriptive study of 43 patients (55 eyes) with keratoconus who underwent KeraRing imp...
متن کاملLate onset of deep corneal vascularization: a rare complication of intrastromal corneal ring segments for keratoconus.
PURPOSE To report deep corneal vascularization noted 3 years after intrastromal corneal ringsegments (Intacs) implantation for the treatment of keratoconus. METHODS A 33-year-old male keratoconus patient intolerant to rigid gas permeable contact lens in the right eye underwent Intacs implantation. At 2 years postoperatively, slit-lamp examination of the right eye revealed superficial corneal ...
متن کاملCorneal Asphericity Changes after Implantation of Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments in Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive corneal thinning of unknown cause in which the cornea assumes a conical shape, with progressive irregular astigmatism and deterioration of visual acuity. The normal anterior corneal surface is prolate, and it could be described as conic (flattening of the radius of curvature from the apex toward the periphery)1. In keratoconus corneas, the steepening of the central ...
متن کاملIntrastromal corneal ring segments delay corneal grafting in patients with keratoconus.
PURPOSE To assess the impact of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) as a surgical alternative to corneal grafting in patients with keratoconus who were scheduled for a corneal transplant. METHODS This single-surgeon, single-center, retrospective, observational case series study included 19 eyes of 18 patients (mean age, 23.36 ± 6.22 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of keratoconus. Thes...
