This procedure allows the user to set parameters such as depth, position, and
number of the entrance incision(s).
This procedure allows to create intrastromal channel incisions for nearly all types
and sizes of ring segments. The results achieved are especially convincing in the
treatment of keratoconus and ectasia. The incision follows the natural curvature
of the cornea and enables optimal positioning of ICRS inside the stroma. The
diameter, width, depth of the tunnel incisions and entrance incisions are individu‐
ally adjustable.
Lamellar keratoplasty is usually performed when a superficial injury, opacity, or
scarring of the cornea reduces visual acuity. The damaged cornea is removed and
replaced by a healthy donor cornea. Lamellar keratoplasty has the advantage of
being primarily extraocular and therefore preserves the recipient endothelium.
This procedure allows the user to cut the donor and recipient cornea with
matching diameters and rim angles. This method facilitates better wound closure.
This procedure allows to cut a penetrating keratoplasty into the donor cornea as
well as into the recipients cornea. Diameter and depth are individually adjustable.
