Researchers evaluated long-term outcomes in patients with stable corneal ectasia undergoing intrastromal ring segment insertion.

The management of keratoconus has evolved substantially over 3 decades. While corneal transplantation was historically the only surgical option for advanced disease, intracorneal ring segments (ICRS), first implanted by Walton Nosé in 1993 and later popularized by Joseph Colin, offered a less invasive way to improve corneal symmetry and reduce irregular astigmatism. Conventional ICRS are made of synthetic PMMA, and despite their efficacy, they carry substantial risks, including extrusion, corneal melt, neovascularization and stress-induced stromal necrosis, particularly when placed

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — Surgeons who perform corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segment procedures should keep planning simple, according to a speaker at Kiawah Eye & Retina. In a presentation, Neel R. Desai, MD, shared pearls and what he wished he knew before he started using corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments (CAIRS) in patients with keratoconus, specifically when placing the ring segments using manual dissection. “When you conceptually think about dissecting or cross planes with a femtosecond laser, it is indiscriminate with respect to the femtosecond laser plane being a fixed

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — In this video from Kiawah Eye & Retina, Beeran B. Meghpara, MD, highlights the benefits of treating keratoconus with additive keratoplasty. “Whether that’s CTAK or CAIRS, we now have a fairly noninvasive surgical way, especially compared with corneal transplantation, to help patients improve their vision, whether it’s uncorrected visual acuity, spectacle corrected visual acuity or less dependence on scleral lenses,” Meghpara, of Wills Eye Hospital, said.

Introduction According to a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study, 95% of enterprise generative AI projects fail due to poor governance, unmanaged risks, and a lack of structured decision-making frameworks. The Common AI Impact and Risk Scoring System (CAIRS) v1.0 addresses this gap by providing a simple, auditable method to score AI projects across two complementary dimensions: business impact/opportunity and legal/technical/ethical risks.

HELSINKI — A study showed that the functional response of corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments is influenced by keratoconus morphology. It also demonstrated that the segments provide meaningful structural and functional improvements. At the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons winter meeting, Burcu Yakut, MD, said that the findings offer “guidance for patient selection and surgical planning.” The study, conducted by Aylin Klç, MD, and colleagues, compared visual, refractive and tomographic outcomes of corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments (CAIRS) in patients with
