Intacs® (Intrastromal Cornea Ring Segments) |
 |
INTACS®
inserts are indicated for the correction of mild myopia
( 1 to 3 diopters). INTACS® are tiny and virtually
invisible plastic arcs that are meant to remain permanently
within your cornea. However, they can be removed or replaced
if necessary. Your doctor places INTACS® inserts
in your cornea by a brief, outpatient surgical procedure that
does not involve a laser. (view

You may notice an improvement in your uncorrected vision (without
glasses) the next day.
IntacsŪ
are tiny (0.25mms thick) acrylic ring segments (see figure
above).
