Continuous Intracorneal Ring Implantation in Keratoconus: Efficacy, Predictive Factors, and Complications

To examine the clinical outcomes, predictors of visual improvement and complications of continuous intracorneal ring (ICCR) implantation in patients with keratoconus and confirmed contact-lens intolerance (CLI). This nonrandomized, multi-centric, retrospective cohort study examined visual, keratomet...

Zusammenfassung:To examine the clinical outcomes, predictors of visual improvement and complications of continuous intracorneal ring (ICCR) implantation in patients with keratoconus and confirmed contact-lens intolerance (CLI). This nonrandomized, multi-centric, retrospective cohort study examined visual, keratometric and clinical outcomes evaluated after a minimum follow-up of 2 months. Among the inclusion criteria for the standard treatment group (STG) were corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) 350µm, and central mean keratometry reading (meanK)
