Intracorneal Ring Segment Implantation with Epithelium-off Accelerated Cross-Linking for Pediatric Keratoconus: A 7-Year Retrospective Analysis

The authors aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of intracorneal ring segment implantation followed by epithelium-off accelerated cross-linking in pediatric patients with keratoconus. Their retrospective analysis of 73 eyes demonstrated significant improvements in visual acuity and keratometric measures over a follow-up period of up to 84 months, suggesting that this combined treatment is effective in managing pediatric keratoconus and improving visual function.
