INTACS are acrylic, micro-thin corneal inserts that are implanted by gently separating some of the layers of the cornea. They are a safe and effective, removable alternative for the correction of mild nearsightedness and astigmatism. They are most commonly used to treat keratoconus, a progressive thinning condition of the cornea. By reshaping and giving support to the cornea INTACS may improve functional vision when glasses and contacts no longer provide suitable vision. Click here to email Dr.
