Keratoconus Treatment Corneal Rings with Laser Insertion

We performed the most advanced technology for keratoconus correction with CORNEAL RINGS and the ZIEMMER FEMTO LASER.

In this procedure, first the Cornea is analysed with an anterior segment tomography. The idea is to analize the keratoconic Cornea in different planes and dimensions. Then a treatment is designed with a specific nomogram to insert Corneal Rings within the Cornea.



The idea is to restor Corneal abnormal curvature and to STOP deterioration and avoid transplant.

The Femto LASER will create precise tunels at the exact depth and length in order to restor corneal abnormal curvature.

Once the tunels are create with the femto laser in less than 20 seconds. Rings are inserted softly and gently into the cornea with no resistance.

This is a fantastic alternative for problematic keratocones that deeply afect quality of life.

Treatment is performed in 15 to 20minutes under topical anesthesia drops.

Recovery is less than 12 hours.
