Intracorneal Ring Segment Implantation

Introduction

One of the treatment options for patients suffering from keratoconus is the insertion of intracorneal rings. This therapeutic approach can be beneficial for individuals with keratoconus who meet the necessary requirements, as it helps reduce astigmatism and irregularity of the corneal surface. Consequently, it can lead to an improvement in both visual acuity and quality. Furthermore, research indicates that the risk of complications does not increase when performing simultaneous surgery on both eyes compared to operating on just one eye.
