Intacs corneal implants are small, biocompatible devices that are inserted into the cornea to treat conditions like keratoconus or myopia. These implants help to reshape the cornea, improving its curvature and stabilizing the condition in patients with irregular corneas.
Intacs are often recommended for patients who are not suitable candidates for corneal transplant or those with early-stage keratoconus. The procedure is minimally invasive and involves inserting the implants through small incisions in the cornea.
Intacs can significantly improve visual acuity and are a useful option for treating progressive corneal conditions.
