“…[1][2][3][4][5] The technique has several limitations including complicated nomograms, difficulties to create a concentric tunnel configuration without femtosecond laser technology, the need of a radial incission, sutures and complications, such as extrusions resulting from the nonequilibrium state as a result of constant pressure of the implants against the surrounding tissue. 6,7 Early experiments with intracorneal continous rings (ICCR) in the 1980s were performed by Binder without acceptable clinical results.…”

Purpose: To demonstrate treatment options for keratoconus using MyoRing intracorneal implant in central and noncentral cones. Materials and methods:Five eyes with central and noncentral cones were compared in a retrospective study. Results:In central cones the maximum of the flattening effect is in the corneal center while in noncentral cones the maximum of the flattening is in area of the cone. Conclusion:No matter where the cone location is the implantation of MyoRing intracorneal implants always results in a regularization of the central cornea.

Purpose: To provide a comprehensive overview of ectasia development following laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Materials and methods:Literature review of relevant studies dealing with corneal ectasia associated with refractive surgery, keratoconus (KC), and cross-linking.Results: Post Laser-assisted (PLE) involves histopathologic, clinical, and topographic characteristics similar to KC. Several risk screening indices were developed to enhance the detection of KC suspect and mild KC cases prior to the laser procedure. A grading system of PLE was developed, based on risk factors for the severity of ectasia, primarily measured by visual loss. The aims of the treatment are halting ectasia progression and restoring visual acuity. Conclusion:Familiarity with the highly sensitive and specific indices for ectasia screening, in addition to procedure parameters that increase the likelihood of ectasia development following the refractive procedure, is essential for minimizing the risk of PLE. However, when ectasia develops, early recognition and proper management are essential to prevent progression and improve visual rehabilitation.
