Have you had Intacs?^®
Keratoconus Specialist - Brian S. Boxer Wachler, MD

If you have had Intacs® and are interested in further options to improve your vision, Dr. Brian, who is one of the most experienced keratoconus doctors, routinely evaluates patients who have had Intacs® placed elsewhere. Further vision improvement can be an option through 1) Intacs adjustments for different size, 2) removal (also known as explant) of the upper Intac segment, 3) Holcomb C3-R®, also called corneal crosslinking, to stabilize keratoconus, and 4) CK (conductive keratoplasty) to improve astigmatism.

If you have experienced poorer vision after Intacs®, it may be due to the location of the segments and/or size and/or number of segments placed. Planning Intacs® treatment for patients is based on the individual measurements for each eye of each patient. Dr. Brian can evaluate and help patients who have not achieved a satisfactory result. Please contact our office for information on keratoconus signs, keratoconus causes and to explore the different keratoconus treatment options.

Why choose Dr. Brian for your Intacs®? Listen to Julie’s story about how having Intacs® performed by a less experienced doctor led her to Dr. Brian because the improperly placed Intacs® worsened her vision. Dr. Brian was the first eye surgeon in the U.S. to perform Intacs® for keratoconus - in 1999.

Please click the green button below to listen to Julie's story who had another eye surgeon perform Intacs incorrectly and she experienced worse vision.  Julie admits that she didn't do enough "homework" on her original Intacs surgeon.  She then came to Dr. Brian who fixed everything and got her life back on track.
