What Do Intacs Do?
Reshapes The Cornea From WithinRestoring Symmetry To An Asymmetric Cornea
Background
Addition Technology in collaboration with highly experienced Intacs surgeons have analyzed thousands of cases over a multi-year period to provide a “best practices” approach to pre-surgical planning and case review.
Since keratoconus is unique to each case and is a perfectly imperfect condition, an in-depth understanding of the optical principals, physics & clinical application can be provided on one-on-one case analysis of your cases.
What Do We Know?
• Intacs corneal implants flatten the cornea helping achieve a functional contact lens fit.
• Intacs corneal implants help provide patients the best functional corrected visual acuity and contact lens fit.
• Intacs corneal implants stabilize the cornea helping the patient defer the need for a corneal transplant.
• According to a survey of 76 U.S. surgeons who performed 2,136 Intacs surgeries, only 1.9% have gone on to a corneal transplant. 3
