Intacs™ Corneal Implants (ICL) for Keratoconus Surgery

prk asa

Innovative Solution for Complex Vision Issues

Intacs™ Eye Implants offer a groundbreaking alternative for individuals with nearsightedness, astigmatism, and keratoconus, particularly when LASIK isn't an option due to thin corneas. These small, crescent-shaped implants are designed to correct the corneal shape, providing a viable solution for those seeking to enhance their vision.


How Intacs™ Transform Vision

ntacs™ function by flattening the cornea to its proper shape, thereby improving how light is focused onto the retina. Made from a biocompatible medical polymer, the implants' thickness is tailored to each patient's needs, potentially offering significant vision improvements:

  • Many keratoconus patients can achieve 20/40 vision or better, depending on their specific condition.
  • A high percentage of nearsighted patients may reach 20/40 vision, with a substantial number attaining 20/20 vision within a year.

The insertion of Intacs™ is minimally invasive, preserving corneal tissue and allowing for reversibility should the need arise.


Understanding the Risks

While Intacs are generally safe, a small percentage of procedures may lead to complications such as over or under correction, glare, halos, or night vision challenges. It's important to discuss these potential risks with your doctor to make an informed decision.
