  • Title: Contact lens fitting for keratoconus after Intacs placement.
    Author: Uçakhan OO, Kanpolat A, Ozdemir O.
    Journal: Eye Contact Lens; 2006 Mar; 32(2):75-7. PubMed ID: 16538127.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe a patient with keratoconus who underwent Intacs surgery to one eye with an unsatisfactory result and refused to undergo an Intacs removal procedure. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: The patient's eye was fitted with a soft contact lens for visual rehabilitation 5 months after Intacs placement. CONCLUSIONS: Intacs, with the help of secondary refractive procedures or contact lenses, may still be considered as effective in postponing penetrating keratoplasty, even in patients with advanced keratoconus.
