Summary
Suture-assisted repositioning successfully managed Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segment (ICRS) extrusion in two patients, achieving sustained epithelial healing and preserving visual outcomes without segment removal.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Corneal Surgery
- Biomaterials Science
Background:
- Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments (ICRS) are used to correct myopia and irregular astigmatism.
- ICRS extrusion is a known complication that can lead to visual impairment and discomfort.
- Conservative management often fails, necessitating surgical intervention.
