INTRACORNEAL RING SEGMENT IMPLANTATION
AND COLLAGEN CROSSLINKING FOR THE
TREATMENT OF KERATOCONUS
METHODS




16 eyes of 10 patients with keratoconus
Topo-guided Transepithelial PRK after Intracorneal Ring
Segment Implantation followed by CXL (ICR+CXL).

The Mean interval between ICR and CXL was 7 months and the
mean interval between CXL and Topo-guided transepithelial

The preoperative and postoperative visual acuity-refractionpachymetry topography results were evaluated.
The mean follow-up period was 6,2 months.

PREGNANCY


KeraRing ICR implantation is an effective method for the
improvement of UCVA and BCVA in keratoconic eyes .



Maximum Keraring effectiveness in diopter according to
corneal thickness is about 7 D.



The inhibiting effect of ICR to keratoconus
progression is still unclear.

CONCLUSION


Topo-Guided Transepithelial PRK ,Toric Phakic IOL
Implantation , ICR implantation followed by CXL is
an effective treatment sequence that can stop
progression and improve vision and refraction in
select keratoconus patients



However a long-term follow-up of a larger
population study is required to validate these
findings
