The arc-shortening effect flattens the central portion of the anterior corneal surface and steepens the peripheral area adjacent to the ring insertion site. The segments act as spacers between bundles of corneal lamellae, shortening the central arc length in a manner proportional to the thickness of the segment (Silvestrini TA, et al. 7,8 Implantation of ICRS can improve visual acuity and reduce refractive errors and mean keratometry (K) values. J Cataract Refract Surg 2010 36:102-109 Q 2010 ASCRS and ESCRS Intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation has been evaluated as an additive surgical procedure for corneal ectasia resulting from keratoconus 1-20 or pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) 28-36 The procedure is an alternative in keratoconus cases, with the goal being to delay or prevent the need for corneal grafts.

CONCLUSION: Astigmatism correction in early to moderate ectatic corneas was more limited with the Intacs ICRS, which induced negative primary spherical aberration in the initial postoperative period. At 1 month, the mean primary spherical aberration was À0.17 mm G 0.52 (SD) in Group I and 0.40 G 0.35 mm in Group K the difference was statistically significant (P<.01). Both groups had significant corneal flattening (P%.02). 04) but not in Group I 41.18% of eyes in Group I and 52.94% in Group K gained 1 or more lines of corrected distance visual acuity. The uncorrected distance visual acuity increased significantly in Group K (P Z. At 6 months, there was a statistically significant reduction in manifest cylinder in Group K that was consistent with the significant reduction in corneal astigmatic aberration (both P Z. ![]() One month postoperatively, there was a statistically significant reduction in sphere in both groups (P%.02). RESULTS: Group I had 17 eyes and Group K, 20 eyes. Visual, refractive, and corneal aberrometric outcomes were analyzed and compared between groups over a 6-month follow-up. METHODS: This retrospective analysis comprised consecutive eyes with grade I or grade II corneal ectasia (keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis) that had Intacs (Group I) or KeraRings (Group K) ICRS implantation using femtosecond technology. SETTINGS: Vissum Corporation-Instituto Oftalmológico de Alicante, Alicante, Spain. PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare visual, refractive, and corneal aberrometric outcomes after implantation of 2 types of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) in eyes with early to moderate ectatic disease.
