INTACS PROCEDURE

Intacs placement is a quick, painless, non-laser procedure that can correct mild to moderate nearsightedness and keratoconus. Intacs can be inserted by Dr. Boxer Wachler at his Los Angeles practice. Patients from Los Angeles, Southern California and all over the country have visited Dr Boxer Wachler's offices in Beverly Hills for this quick Intacs procedure.

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.

Surgical technique is very important as there are many different possible ways of placing Intacs along with many different sizes of Intacs to select. If Intacs are not positioned at the correct angle or the wrong type of sizes are used, it is possible to experience worse vision. For more details about this possibility, click here and read this important article.

With Dr. Boxer Wachler's custom technique, you can be certain that all safety measures have been addressed.

Since then, Intacs has dramatically increased in use for this condition. More detailed information can be found at www.keratoconusinserts.com.
