Initial Experience with the 355º Keraring - by Dr. Luis Cadarso
The document discusses the initial experience with the Keraring SI-355o at Cadarso Clinic in Spain for treating central keratoconus. Results show improved visual acuity and a reduction in myopic and astigmatic components in four patients, confirming the safety and effectiveness of this treatment. Key requisites for the procedure and specifications for the laser tunnel are also highlighted.
