Implanting intra-corneal rings to correct high cylinder errors in non-ectatic corneas

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on the implantation of INTACS, which are intra-corneal rings, to correct high cylinder errors in patients with non-ectatic corneas. The approach aims to improve visual acuity and reduce the need for corrective lenses in individuals suffering from significant astigmatism. The methodology involves a surgical procedure where these rings are placed within the cornea to reshape its curvature. The study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this intervention for the targeted patient population.
