Intra-stormal implants are called Rings, Segments or ICRs and were designed and developed to be used
as a correction for reducing or eliminating myopia of minus 0.5 to minus 8.0 diopters.
They are also used for the correction of keratoconus if properly implanted into the stroma of the cornea,
outside of the optic zone.

KERATACx™ NOMOGRAM

Note:
The chart above is only a guideline and Surgeons must use
their own experience and expertise.

Calculating Diopter:
Determining the implant needed for the proper correction of the patient’s myopia will depend on each surgeon’s
specific implantation technique. Surgeons should use their own calculation and experience for product selection
remembering that the optical zone ( Diameter ) of Keratacx is 6.2mm as opposed to INTACS™ 6.8mm.
Therefore, Keratacx will tend to make a slightly higher correction.
