| Summary: |
Implantation of intrastromal corneal rings segments is a new
refractive procedure. INTACS consists of 2 separate segments placed in the midperipheral
cornea, in specially preparing lamellar channels. Polymethylo methacrylate rings, which
flatter the anterior curvature of the cornea. The peripheral localization of these rings
leaves the central cornea untouched. The 2 main advantages of the INTACS are, that it
preserves the corneal center and is removable. Segments serve for the reduction of myopia
from -1,00 D to -5,00 D. The refractive correction is modulated by INTACS thickness, which
ranged from 0,25 to 0,45 mm. |
