Corneal Cross-Linking And Corneal Implants

Corneal Cross-Linking

Corneal Cross-linking is FDA-approved for progressive keratoconus. Corneal Cross-linking is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure proven to slow or stop the progression of Keratoconus. This procedure has transformed the treatment of Keratoconus, as it can prevent the need for corneal transplantation.

INTACS® Corneal Implants

Intacs® is the trademark name for micro-thin prescription inserts that were previously used as a form of refractive surgery in the treatment of low levels of myopia or nearsightedness, but have recently received FDA approval for treatment of keratoconus.

Corneal Transplantation

The cornea is the front, dome-shaped, transparent part of the eye. The clarity and shape of the Cornea are vital in their main role: focusing light onto the retina. There are a number of conditions that can affect the clarity and shape of the cornea and in turn the quality of vision. Some of these conditions include Keratoconus, Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy, scarring, and infections.
