Abstract
| Title: |
CAIRS -Option for Keratoconus treatment |
| Body: |
Keratoconus is a disease characterized by progressive thinning, bulging and distortion of cornea. Advanced disease cases usually present with loss of vision and a majority of these cases require surgical intervention.
The main goal of treatment for keratoconus has changed over the last few years from that aiming to improve visual acuity with keratoplasty to a number of relatively new procedures focused on the prevention of disease progression (CXL) or to restore/support contact lens tolerance. Recent advancements have introduced corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segment (CAIRS) surgery as a promising solution.
The details of the surgery will be discussed here. |
