| Summary: |
Keratoconus is a
noninflammatory, progressive disease with ectasia and
thinning of the corneal stroma, leading to decrease
visual acuity related to asymmetrical irregular
astigmatism and myopia. Currently, patients with
keratoconus who are contact lens intolerant, are
primarily treated by penetrating keratoplasty. When the
cornea is transparent, other options may be considered.
There are several studies about intrastromal rings
implantation, in eyes with keratoconus. The major
objective of corneal ring implantation is to reshape the
abnormal cornea without removing corneal tissue or
touching the central cornea. |
