Individual Long-term Visual Stability after MyoRing Treatment of Keratoconus
ABSTRACT Purpose The article aims to study the individual long-term stability of visual acuity after MyoRing treatment of keratoconus. Materials and methods This is a retrospective study of the individual visual acuity development for 5 years after MyoRing implantation for keratoconus. Results In no single case did uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity lose one line or more during the first 5 years after MyoRing treatment for keratoconus. Moreover, visual acuity was even further ameliorated in most of the cases until the last follow-up period of 5 years after surgery. Conclusion The results indicate that MyoRing placement inside the cornea can achieve both visual rehabilitation and stop of progression of the disease.
