New
Uses Published 2001 - Here's the latest on an advanced treatment for keratoconus. |
| |
Greek
and French Results - Intacs® can bring about dramatic and
stable improvements in the visual acuity of keratoconus patients, according to results
of a number of studies presented at the 5th Winter Refractive Surgery Meeting of
the ESCRS. |

KC
Sparks Interest of Researchers - While researchers look for the keys to
keratoconus, surgeons are trying quicker, safer refractive alternatives to cornea
transplant. |
Keratoconus is the thinning and bulging of
the cornea. Treatments include Intacs®,
C3-R®, cornea
collagen cross linking, and if keratoconus
progresses to a serious level, cornea transplantation. Dr Brian Boxer
Wachler is a specialist in keratoconus evaluation
and treatment.
