Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Intracorneal ring technology has advanced significantly over the last decade.
  • This technology is used for correcting refractive errors, particularly myopia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Intrastromal Corneal Ring and Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments for myopia correction.
  • To assess the long-term stability and predictability of the refractive outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical trials regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration.
  • Surgical implantation of Intrastromal Corneal Ring and Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments.

Main Results:

  • The surgical procedure is safe, easily performed, and yields excellent visual results.
  • Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity is preserved postoperatively.
  • Stable and predictable correction is achieved for several years.
  • Enhancements via device exchange and removal for refractive reversal are feasible.

Conclusions:

  • Intracorneal ring technology is a promising option for low to moderate myopia correction.
  • The devices offer a safe, effective, and reversible solution for refractive error management.
