Femtosecond laser-assisted intracorneal MyoRing explantation - A novel rescue technique
We present a novel femtosecond laser-based "rescue" technique for the removal of continuous corneal ring implants that cannot be extracted via the original intrastromal pocket. The minimal-invasive FS-approach might also be useful for the explantation of other intracorneal implants (e.g. ICRS) or devices that cannot be removed via the original surgical approach.
