Intacs corneal inserts or implants are a minimally invasive surgical option used primarily for the treatment of keratoconus. Intacs are made of the same biocompatible material found in intraocular lenses used for cataract surgery, so there is little or no risk of adverse effects from the material.
During the procedure, the surgeon creates a tunnel between layers of the corneal stroma, outside of the central optical zone. The surgeon then chooses the appropriate ring thickness. A thicker ring in Intacs means more flattening of the cornea, which increases the level of vision correction achieved. After one or two crescent-shaped Intacs are inserted into the tunnel, the procedure is over.
