🙄 Question from patient: why surgeons 🏥 more often implant intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) and not the corneal ring? 👀
Answer: Because ICRS made less corneal trauma and give more opportunities to correct astigmatism!👍
Video of Мyoring ring implantation procedure is attached!

How does Smoking affect the development and progression of keratoconus? 🙄 This question we received from one of our patients.

Of course, smoking has a negative effect on the whole body, but what happens specifically to the cornea? We refrer to existing research: 🕵️‍♂️

1. According to a study published in 2008, the development of keratoconus is not associated with Smoking (Spoerl E, Raiskup-Wolf F, Kuhlisch E, Pillunat LE): in the study group of 180 smokers was less (5%) than non-smokers (95%).
Although the researchers noted that given the severity of the disease and doctors ' recommendations, many patients simply quit Smoking.

2. In an earlier study (2006, Paik DC, Saito LY, Sugirtharaj DD, Holmes JW.) in the model, it was found that nitrites contained in ci******es can affect corneal tissue similar to the cross-linking procedure.
It should be understood that the impact occurs on other organs and tissues (blood vessels, including the retina, which leads to the development of macular degeneration AMD).

Conclusion: in any case, you have keratoconus or not - give up Smoking and do not reassure yourself that "it may be useful for the cornea."

👉 We are often asked the question - is it possible to drive a car with a diagnosis of "keratoconus"?🤔
In fact, the limitation to driving a car is not the diagnosis itself, but a decrease in vision, which can be of varying degrees of severity. The minimum Visual Acuity is 0.6 (60%) in one eye and 0.2 (20%) in the other. And this VA - already with correction (glasses, lenses)! 🤓
Other factors (such as field of view) can also affect the admission, but they are usually not checked at the driving medical commission in Russia. When keratoconus lenses (and especially glasses), do not always give the maximum correction. 🙄
The most effective in this regard, intrastromal corneal segments and implantation of phacic intraocular lenses are procedures successfully carried out in our clinic.👍

We are often asked: "is it Possible to play sports with keratoconus?"🙄
The answer is "Yes" - not only Amateur, but also Professional.💪 Proof of this another case. Basketball player 🏀 Steph Curry (Wardell Stephen "Steph" Curry II) – the best shooter in NBA history.🏆 During his career, he realizes 44 percent of long shots and more than 90% from the penalty line (the last figure is the best in history).
From his youth he suffers from keratoconus😲, but wearing the correction means (lenses) was only this year (he is 31 old), when his performance started to deteriorate.⬇️⬇️⬇️
Curry admitted: "I began to wear lenses. That's right, a new world has opened up before me."
Why not before?
"I used to squint. That was enough."

Many patients ask: "What better crosslinking transepithelial or traditional?"🙄
The traditional CXLwith the removal of the corneal epithelium) it is more effective 💪, because it gives better results in connection with deeper pe*******on of the drug, so we adhere to this technique in the overwhelming number of cases. However, if the thickness of the cornea (less than 400 microns) or cross-linking is carried out for preventive purposes after laser vision correction 👀 can be used transepithelial technique (without removing the epithelium) and more comfortable for the patient.

Judging to the use of scleral contact lenses 👀 Mike Wazowski 👾 - the character of "monsters Corporation" 😈 has serious
problems with his vision ( possibly- keratoconus)! 😲

😁 A little humor: "eye to eye" 👀 in the truest sense of the word. In patients with keratoconus (cone-shaped cornea) it is much easier to do! 💪 The competition they can be, except that people with exophthalmos. 😲

🌄The beginning of the day in people using scleral contact lenses for keratoconus. "Small set" 😲 to ensure dressing, removing and storing the lens.👁️

👉As an alternative (if possible), in our clinic we use implantation of intrastromal rings (segments) or ICL facic lenses.👍

Keratoplasty is a synonym for corneal transplantation? 🙄

Actually no, as other variants are possible, not always requiring full replacement of the cornea to an donor graft.👀

A separate area is keratoprosthesis (in the picture).

👉If you or your dear people have problems with the cornea - please contact the specialists of our ophthalmological center 🏥 and we will find the best solution!👍

Is it possible to improve vision with keratoconus by using glasses? 🤔 Yes, if this is the initial degree of the disease and refractive error is negligible. If myopia and astigmatism progress😫, the glasses are no longer effective (and even bulky - see photo) 👓, in this case, first recommended rigid contact lenses (incl. scleral), as well as surgical treatment - installation of intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) or facic lens implantation (ICL).👍

How can be thin cornea in keratoconus? 😳
The photo shows a cornea with thickness of 220 microns😱. On the image above - the appearance of the eye with KC 👁️, below - the data of optical coherence tomography 🔬(it is visible scleral lens over the cornea).
It is noteworthy that despite the recommendations of surgeons 👨‍⚕️ to provide penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), the patient has refrained from surgery and uses contact lenses for vision correction.👀

Can I drive a car with keratoconus? 🙄
Keratoconus itself is not a contraindication to driving, it all depends on the quality of human vision. 👍 For driving, the car-driver needs a minimum visual acuity of 0.6 on one and 0.2 on another eye (without correction or with correction with glasses, contact lenses, etc.) 👓 Most of our patients with keratoconus after treatment (CXL, ICRS, ICLl) get the high vision 👏 and can without any problems to drive the auto or motobike.🛵
