3 Intrastromal corneal ring 1987 Fleming and Reynold Early myopia 1994 CE - Myopia (- 1,0 D to 3,0D) 1999 FDA - Myopia (- 1,0 D to 3,0D) 2004 FDA Keratoconus, Ectasia

4 Types of CRS Intacs Kerarings (Mediphacos, Inc, Belo Horizonte, Brazil ) Ferrara (Ferrara Ophthalmics, Inc, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) Bisantis (Opticon 2000SpA and Soleclo SpA, Rome, Italy) MyoRing (Dioptex GmbH, Linz, Austria)

5 Indications for CRS implantation Keratoconus Pellucid Marginal Degeneration Iatrogenic Ectasia Ectasia (Post Lasik, PRK) Irregular astigmatism after PKP Irregular astigmatism after RK Treatment of post- trauma corneal irregularities

6 Indications for CRS implantation in patients suffer from keratoconus Unsatisfactory VA with glasses Contact lens intolerance Mild and moderate keratoconus K reading less than 58D Clear cornea and optical zone with no corneal scarring Corneal thickness greater than 450μm in the area of the proposed tunnels

7 Contraindications Acute keratoconus (K 70D) possibly poor visual outcome Hydrops Corneal scarring Endothelial cell count 1000cel/μm

8 Contraindications Severe atopic patients eye rubbing can cause complications e.g. ring migration Decentered PKP complications during surgery Recurring Corneal Erosion Syndrome possible melting, extrusion and infection

15 Data Male Age 46 5/10( - 3,25*10 ) 10/10 (- 1,00-0,50*80) 12 months follow up

16 Data Male Age 24 CXL + Keraring 3months follow up 5/10 (- 2,00-4,00*60) 10/10 (- 0,50)

17 Intraoperative Complications Mechanical procedure Segment decentration Asymmetry of the implants Inadequate depth of channel Super1icial channel dissection with anterior Bowman s layer perforation Femtosecond procedure Incomplete channel formation. Incorrect entry of the channel Mechanical epithelial defects at the keratotomy site Posterior cornea perforation during channel creation

18 Postoperative Complications Anterior chamber perforation Corneal in1iltrate Segment migration Corneal melting Mild infection Cornea neovascularization Epithelial plug at the incision site Night halos Chronic pain Focal edema around segments

19 Materials and method A complete ophthalmic examination was performed preoperatively including: Visual acuity (UCVA) Keratometric readings (K) HO aberration, LO aberration, Coma Follow up (10 months)

20 Statistical analysis of CRS (Keraring) based on a sample from diathlasis day care unit A total of 17 patients (24 eyes) suffer from clinical keratoconus were selected for investigation All surgical procedures were performed by the same surgeon Age ( ± years) Range years 92% of total eyes are male and 8% eyes are female 17 eyes undergone CXL therapy 1 eye undergone CXL therapy+ Keraring implantation guided by femtosecond laser

35 Conclusion Keraring implantation guided by femtosecond laser is a safe and a high ef:icacy method. It is provided signi1icant improvement in visual acuity, spherical equivalent, and keratometry results. The CRS is an effective treatment for managing keratoconus and might delay or even avoid the need for penetrating keratoplasty.
