“…After the surgery it is possible to correct the residual ametropia with conventional optical correction or contact lenses. 65 • Stabilization or delay of cone progression. 19 • Lack of a minimum age for surgery, thus making it possible to reduce the waitlists for transplants in eye banks (30% of the transplants in eye banks are attributed to keratoconus).…”

The Ferrara intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) are designed to treat ectatic corneal disorders, especially keratoconus. They have been used to reshape keratoconic corneas to improve uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, contact lens tolerance and to delay or prevent the need for keratoplasty. Intrastromal corneal ring segments have several distinct and important advantages. The Ferrara ICRS have been used largely in several countries for the treatment of primary and secondary ectatic corneal disorders. This article reviews the latest data published and the clinical experience/findings on the treatment of keratoconus by the Ferrara ICRS implantation.

“…When these lenses are unsatisfactory, a PB system is a good alternative. 65 Scleral contact lenses (ScCl) are used for improving vision in patients with high or irregular astigmatism, such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, keratoglobus, and post-keratoplasty astigmatism (Fig. 1).…”

“…In keratoconic patients with intrastromal rings, VA can be further improved through contact lens fitting (Carballo-Alvarez et al 2014). Despite an improvement in mean postoperative CDVA of almost two lines, postoperative CDVA values were worse in subjects who showed greater postoperative stray light.…”

“…Despite an improvement in mean postoperative CDVA of almost two lines, postoperative CDVA values were worse in subjects who showed greater postoperative stray light. In keratoconic patients with intrastromal rings, VA can be further improved through contact lens fitting (Carballo-Alvarez et al 2014). However, to reduce forward light scatter, the disrupted corneal structure needs to be resolved by PK.…”

“…Apart from spectacles correction, conventional SCL with spherical and toric designs are usually fitted in incipient keratoconic eyes. However, in advanced stages or after ICRS implantation, the visual benefit of conventional SCL fitting is not widely reported [17][18][19]. Carballo-Álvarez et al [19] found an improvement in visual function with spherical and toric SCL after ICRS implantation.…”
