          Abstract

          Purpose

          To study long-term results of MyoRing treatment of keratoconus.

          Methods

          Retrospective study of MyoRing implantation into a corneal pocket for keratoconus.

          Results

          Corneal thickness at the thinnest point remained unchanged, SIM K's, manifest sphere and cylinder were significantly improved at the first follow-up 9 months postoperatively and remained stable until the last follow-up about 5 years after surgery. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA, CDVA) were significantly improved at the first follow-up 9 months postoperatively and were further ameliorated until the last follow-up about 5 years after surgery.

          Conclusion

          The treatment was safe and effective with continuing improvement of visual acuity during the 5 years after surgery.

          Resumen

          Objetivo

          Estudiar los resultados a largo plazo del tratamiento del queratocono con MyoRing.

          Método

          Estudio retrospectivo de la implantación del MyoRing en un bolsillo corneal en los casos de queratocono.

          Resultados

          El espesor de la córnea en el punto más fino no reflejó cambios, mejorando los valores de SIM K, esfera y cilindro manifiesto durante el seguimiento a los 9 meses de la intervención y permaneciendo entonces estables hasta el último seguimiento a los 5 años de la misma. La agudeza visual no corregida y corregida (UDVA, CDVA) mejoró considerablemente a los 9 meses de la intervención, y continuaron mejorando significativamente hasta el último seguimiento a los 5 años de la misma.

          Conclusión

          El tratamiento resultó seguro y efectivo, con mejora continua de la agudeza visual durante los 5 años posteriores a la cirugía.

          Intracorneal rings for keratoconus and keratectasia.

          Intrastromal corneal ring segments were designed to achieve refractive adjustment by flattening the cornea. Recently, they have been used to reshape keratoconic corneas to improve uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, and contact lens tolerance and to delay or prevent the need for keratoplasty. Intracorneal ring segments have several distinct and important advantages. New thicknesses and different ring sizes and the use of femtosecond lasers to dissect channels inside the cornea will likely improve the surgical outcomes. This article reviews the latest data published or presented at meetings on the correction of keratoconus and keratectasia by intracorneal ring segments.
