In
Figure 133
the upper two images show the topography after asymmetric implantation of INTACS
in the Compare 2 Exams display with a significant decrease of posterior corneal elevation from
84 μm to 28 μm. The lower 2 images show the impact after Laser PRK following previous INTACS to
result in decrease in corneal astigmatism from 3.7 D to 0.3 D.
After corneal visual rehabilitation, collagen-cross-linking can be used to further stabilize this
restored cornea. Here the Pentacam® can be used not only in planning but also in documenting
successful outcomes.
