CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF PHAKIC INTRAOCULAR LENSES

Corneal refractive surgery is one of the most performed procedures worldwide to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Advances developed in Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery allow greater precision in creating the corneal flap by means of femtosecond laser and lower incidence of complications, among many other advantages. The advent […]

INTRASTROMAL CORNEAL RINGS IN PATIENTS WITH KERATOCONUS

In patients with corneal ecstasies as keratoconus, one of the alternatives to regularize the corneal surface is the implantation of intrastromal corneal rings. As it is known keratoconus produce an increase of the corneal curvature and a decrease in corneal thickness, among other alterations. According to keratoconus evolution grade, intraestromal corneal ring features will be […]
