Simultaneous intratunnel cross-linking with intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation versus simultaneous epithelium-off cross-linking with intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation for keratoconus management
Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intratunnel cross-linking combined with intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation versus combined epithelium-off (epi-off) cross-linking and ICRS implantation for the management of keratoconus. Methods Our study included 20 eyes of 12 patients with moderate-to-severe keratoconus. Group A included 10 eyes that underwen...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation to correct ectasia in eyes with prior refractive surgery. METHODS Forty-one eyes of 25 patients (13 men, 12 women; mean age, 28.66 years) with ectasia after refractive surgery [photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)] were included in a nonrandomized, retrospect...
متن کاملOutcome of Keraring Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segment Implantation for the Management of Keratoconus
Objective: To report the outcome of Keraring intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation using mechanical tunnel creation method for the management of keratoconus. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted during the period from July 2009 to November 2011 at Dhahran Eye Specialist Hospital, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

متن کاملIntrastromal Corneal Ring Segment Implantation (Keraring 355°) in Patients with Central Keratoconus: 6-Month Follow-Up
We evaluate the efficacy and safety of Keraring 355° intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation aided by PocketMaker microkeratome for the correction of keratoconus. Patients underwent ICRS insertion using mechanical dissection with PocketMaker microkeratome and completed 6 months of follow-up. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refracti...
