Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments

Intrastromal corneal ring segments are tiny, crescent-shaped devices surgically inserted into the middle layer of the cornea, which is the clear front part of the eye. They are used to treat certain vision problems, particularly keratoconus, where the cornea bulges and distorts. By flattening the cornea, these segments help improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be an effective option for individuals seeking better eyesight when other treatments are not suitable.
