4.4/5.6 *Availability of Intacs in the USA is currently limited to sizes under 0.35 mm. Intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) allows safe and efficient treatment of keratoconus. The main advantage of ...

Cross-linking cannot restore best corrected vision that has already been lost. In eyes with keratoconus, no contact lens — whether soft, gas permeable or scleral — can arrest progression of ...

It may be possible to integrate a keratoconus grading system into a swept-source optical coherence tomography device. A numeric swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT)-based keratoconus ...

In many cases, these patients have already been diagnosed with progressive keratoconus and are being sent for an evaluation for cross-linking. As awareness of cross-linking has grown, I am ...
