Scleral Spacing Procedure | Complication Repairs | Intacs | C3-R Treatment | Cataracts
Intacs are clear inserts designed to reshape the cornea to correct vision. They are made of a material that has been safely used in contact lenses and cataract surgery for over 50 years. Intacs cannot be felt or seen as they remain below the surface of the cornea. The 10-minute procedure does not require any needles or shots.
Intacs are now FDA-approved for keratoconus. The FDA adopted Dr. Boxer Wachler's procedure guidelines for the approved surgical technique which is the basis for instructional courses used to train other surgeons.
With Dr. Boxer Wachler's custom technique, you can be certain that all safety measures have been addressed.
| EVALUATIONS | BENEFIT to PATIENT |
| Intacs are exchangeable and removable | Accommodate future vision needs |
| Separate sterile equipment for each eye | Reduce risk of infection |
| Infrared pupil measuring equipment | Determine glare and halo risk |
After FDA approval in 1999, Dr. Boxer Wachler was the first in the United States to publish the use of Intacs for treating a corneal degenerative condition called keratoconus. Since then, Intacs has dramatically increased in use for this condition. More detailed information can be found at www.keratoconusinserts.com
