New phakic lens improves vision in keratoconus patient implanted with intracorneal ring segment
The Implantable Phakic Contact Lens, or IPCL, might be an additional good option to correct refraction in combination with intracorneal ring segments for patients with keratoconus, according to one surgeon. Luis Salvà Ladaria, MD, an ophthalmologist in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, performed the first implantation of this lens in a 29-year-old patient with grade 4 keratoconus who was previously implanted with an intracorneal ring segment in the left eye.
