Pre-Descemetic Placement of Intracorneal Ring Segments for Keratoconus after Mechanical Implantation

We report the case of a 23-year-old male who was referred to our clinic for a routine follow-up examination. The patient was treated for keratoconus 3 years ago in Colombia, where intracorneal ring segments were implanted mechanically in both eyes to improve his visual acuity. Surprisingly, we disco...
