INTACS
|
|
Patients with Keratoconus who are no longer able to see clearly with glasses or contact lenses may require a cornea transplant. INTACS are prescription inserts which are placed into the substance of the cornea. Intacs can delay the patients need for a transplant by flattening and repositioning the “cone”. |
| The goal of the INTACS procedure is to provide the keratoconic patient with the ability to achieve improved functional vision with contact lenses or glasses and in some cases without them. In the few patients that later required a cornea transplant after having the INTACS procedure, their transplants were completed without complication following removal of INTACS. |
