Long-Term Outcomes of Progressive Thickness Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments for Keratoconic Eyes: A 4-Year Follow-Up
KeraRing AS implantation provides significant initial improvements in visual and topographic parameters in progressive KC. However, notable regression occurs after 1 year, with significant increases in spherical power, SE, and all keratometric parameters between 1 and 4 years. This regression pattern emphasizes the importance of long-term monitoring and potential need for additional interventions.
