BARCELONA, Spain — In this Healio Video Perspective from the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting, Emilio Torres-Netto, MD, PhD, discusses biomechanical changes produced by the implantation of femto-CAIRS.
Using OCT elastography, Torres-Netto observed differences in the way the cornea reacts to PMMA rings vs. femtosecond laser-assisted corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments (femto-CAIRS).
“We have the expected topographic effects, but we do not have all those changes in strain profiles as we do with synthetic rings,” he said.
This has implications
