Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segments (CAIRS), or Corneal Allogeneic Intrastromal Ring Segments.

The implantation procedure is minimally invasive, ensuring quick recovery and improved quality of life for patients, who can enjoy improved vision without the need for more invasive treatments.

What are intrastromal rings?

Intrastromal rings are specialized medical implants used in ophthalmology to correct vision defects and treat irregular changes in the structure of the cornea, such as corneal cone. These are small, clear rings, usually made of a biocompatible material such as polymethyl methyl acrylate (PMMA), which is well tolerated by eye tissues and minimizes the risk of rejection reactions.

These rings are designed to be placed in the cornea, where they gently modify the shape of the cornea by introducing additional tension at strategic locations. This process helps flatten the cornea, which is key in correcting abnormalities such as myopia and astigmatism, as well as stabilizing progressive corneal cone.

How do intrastromal rings work in the treatment of corneal cone?

The procedure for implanting intrastromal rings is usually minimally invasive and is performed under local anesthesia. The procedure involves the precise creation of a small tunnel in the cornea using a femtosecond laser, through which a ring is then inserted. This process is precisely controlled, allowing the desired corrective effects to be achieved without deep surgical interventions.

Thanks to these features, intravitreal rings are valued in modern ophthalmology for their ability to improve patients’ quality of life, offering them better quality of vision without the need for more invasive methods of vision correction.

When it’s a good idea to undergo treatment with intrastromal rings

Treatment with intrastromal rings is recommended for corneal cone and other corneal shape disorders.

Here are the situations in which this treatment is worth considering:

  • Early stage of corneal cone. When the early stage of corneal cone is diagnosed and the changes in corneal curvature are not yet significantly advanced, the rings can stabilize the shape of the cornea and delay further progression of the disease.
  • Irregular astigmatism. When a patient suffers from irregular astigmatism that is difficult to correct with standard methods such as glasses or contact lenses, the rings can help normalize the curvature of the cornea, which improves visual acuity.

Consultation with an experienced ophthalmologist, detailed diagnosis and examination of the patient’s corneal condition are essential to assess whether intrastromal rings are suitable for the patient.

CAIRS represents a novel approach to treating advanced forms of corneal cone. Using allogeneic intrastromal rings that are made from recycled human tissue, these innovative implants provide natural compatibility and minimize the risk of rejection, which is crucial for those with severe corneal structural changes.

Natural biocompatibility. CAIRS uses human corneal tissue, which ensures exceptional tolerance and minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or rejection that can occur with synthetic materials. As a result, these implants are especially recommended for patients with sensitive eyes or those who have experienced problems with other types of implants.

CAIRS

A minimally invasive procedure. The CAIRS implantation procedure is relatively simple and minimally invasive. It uses advanced laser technology to precisely place the rings in the cornea, minimizing the risk of complications and reducing recovery time. Patients can expect a quick return to normal activities without a lengthy healing process.
