TitelIntacs for ectasia , first results
Abstract Nr.144
DoelEctasia is a severe complication of refractive surgery, this new technique improves the shape of the cornea
MethodesWe inserted intacs ( intrastromal corneal ring segments) in 6 eyes who presented signs of ectasia.
Two patients presented with keratoconus, three underwent previous lasik surgery and one patient had previous radial keratotomy and prk.
ResultatenIn this study the first results will be shown
In all eyes the treatment seems to improve the vision, the astigmatism became less irregular, ghost images disappeared, and the objective refraction improved
All patients demonstrate in the beginning some fluctuations in their visual acuity, which seems to stabilize the longer the intacs are in place.
ConclusieIn all patients the visual acuity improved after intacs, the rings were well tolerated and the results look very promissing
