JCM | Free Full-Text | Asymmetric Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments with Progressive Base Width and Thickness for Keratoconus: Evaluation of Efficacy and Analysis of Epithelial Remodeling
1. Introduction Keratoconus is a bilateral asymmetric ectatic disorder of the cornea characterized by localized corneal thinning and steepening, inducing irregular astigmatism that leads to visual impairment [1,2]. Intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation is currently used in keratoconus treatment strategies; the efficacy and safety of this approach have been widely demonstrated [3,4,5,6,7]. Different types of ICRSs are available for different types of keratoconus.
Comparative Study of Asymmetric Versus Non-asymmetric Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments for the Management of Keratoconus
Original Article Abstract PURPOSE: To compare the outcomes obtained with models of asymmetric and non-asymmetric intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) in keratoconic eyes with asymmetric topo-graphic patterns. METHODS: In this prospective observational study, ICRS were implanted alternately in patients with the same tomographic patterns of keratoconus assigned to four groups.
