Resultado biomecânico, topográfico e anatômico pós-anel intraestromal em ceratocone avançado

Abstract

The intrastromal corneal ring implant surgery is becoming a surgical procedure in the treatment of keratoconus additive in order to minimize and delay the complications inherent to the pathology. Its action consists in the remodeling cornea, flattening and regulating the central corneal surface. Nowadays with the advent of new technologies, there is an important contribution in the diagnosis of keratoconus, with not only diagnosis but also more effective with better monitoring and prognosis of patients with this disorder ectatic. In this article we report the case of a young patient with advanced keratoconus in his left eye and severe in the right eye, which caused failure in adapting to rigid lenses, underwent surgery with implants intracorneals in both eyes with significant improvement of topographys indexes, anatomical and biomechanical tests as demonstrated by the ORA (ocular response analyzer), optical coherence tomography of anterior segment and corneal topography.
