| PubMedID- 21366205 | Combined cross-linking treatment and posterior chamber toric phakic collamer lens implantation in a two-step procedure seems to be an effective method for correcting keratoconus in patients with high myopia and astigmatism. |
| PubMedID- 21854565 | Intrastromal corneal ring segments (intacs, keravision, inc., fremont, ca, usa), which have been approved for the treatment of myopia and astigmatism associated with keratoconus, are two tiny half rings made of polymethyl methacrylate [1]. |
| PubMedID- 26253458 | Purpose: to evaluate the visual and topographic outcomes of a two-stage approach treatment for progressive keratoconus (kc) associated with high myopia and cataract. |
| PubMedID- 25874116 | Our study group recently published the 6-month data on the safety and efficacy of cxl followed by insertion of a phakic toric implantable collamer lens (icl) (visian toric v4 icl; staar surgical, monrovia, ca) in the posterior chamber for correction of myopia and astigmatism in patients with keratoconus [9]. |
| PubMedID- 23496020 | Conclusions: in selected severe keratoconus cases with high myopia and steep keratometry previously treated with intacs implantation, if significant residual refractive error is observed, secondary implantation of myoring over intacs may improve vision and refraction. |
