INTACS

Intacs corneal implants gently reshape the curvature of your cornea from within, enhancing the natural shape of your eye to correct mild nearsightedness. Unlike laser surgery, no corneal tissue is removed from the central optical zone of your cornea—the portion critical to your sight. You cannot feel Intacs corneal implants once they have been inserted and are no more visible than contact lenses. No maintenance is required. Over 97% of patients who get Intacs corneal implants achieve the goal of driver’s license vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses, and greater than 50% are pleased to discover that their vision is better than 20/20.

Intacs for Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease, which causes a thinning of the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. As the disease progresses, the quality of one's vision deteriorates and contact lenses or glasses no longer become a satisfactory solution for most people. For many, an invasive corneal transplant was the only option – until now! Intacs prescription inserts are an exciting new treatment option that falls between contact lenses and a full corneal transplant that may be the best possible option to stabilize the cornea and improve vision.

Intacs prescription inserts are approved by the FDA for Keratoconus under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE). For more information on Intacs® for Keratoconus, please visit www.intacsforkeratoconus.com  or www.getintacs.com  for general information.
