INTRASTROMAL CORNEAL RING SEGMENT Forty-two eyes of 26 patients, 14 men and 12 women, with ectasia after refractive surgery were studied in a nonrandomized, retrospective, observational case series. |
Procedure: INTRASTROMAL CORNEAL RING SEGMENT
Corneal tunnels were created by means of mechanical dissection in all eyes. Main outcome measures included UCVA, BCVA, refraction, keratometry and computerized analysis of corneal topography.
