For keratoconus patients, INTACS implantation can improve vision and potentially avoid corneal transplants when other treatments fail. This refractive option offers an alternative to penetrating keratoplasty for visual rehabilitation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal disease
  • Refractive surgery

Context:

  • Keratoconus management depends on disease severity.
  • Contact lenses and penetrating keratoplasty are common treatments.
  • Incisional refractive surgery is contraindicated due to corneal instability.

Purpose:

  • To explore INTACS implantation as a refractive treatment for keratoconus.
  • To evaluate its potential to improve visual function.
  • To assess its role in preventing corneal transplantation.

Summary:

  • INTACS implantation is a refractive option for keratoconus when contact lenses fail.
  • It can enhance visual acuity and function in select patients.
  • This procedure may prevent the need for corneal transplantation.

Impact:

  • INTACS offers a viable alternative to penetrating keratoplasty.
  • It provides a refractive solution for visual rehabilitation in keratoconus.
  • May reduce the incidence of corneal transplantation for keratoconus.
