Keratoconus is a noninflammatory, progressive disease with ectasia and thinning of the corneal stroma, leading to decrease visual acuity related to asymmetrical irregular astigmatism and myopia. Currently, patients with keratoconus who are contact lens intolerant, are primarily treated by penetrating keratoplasty. When the cornea is transparent, other options may be considered. There are several studies about intrastromal rings implantation, in eyes with keratoconus. The major objective of corneal ring implantation is to reshape the abnormal cornea without removing corneal tissue or touching the central cornea.
圆锥角膜是一种非炎症性、进行性疾病，其特征为角膜基质扩张和变薄，导致与不对称不规则散光和近视相关的视力下降。目前，不耐受隐形眼镜的圆锥角膜患者主要通过穿透性角膜移植术进行治疗。当角膜透明时，可以考虑其他选择。有几项关于圆锥角膜眼内基质环植入的研究。角膜环植入的主要目的是在不切除角膜组织或不接触中央角膜的情况下重塑异常角膜。
