The document discusses the evolution and effectiveness of intracorneal segments (ICS) for treating keratoconus and other ectatic conditions, noting initial uses for mild myopia. It summarizes various studies highlighting improvements in uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity, as well as reductions in spherical equivalent and topographic values. Concerns about variable results, safety issues, and the need for better understanding and refinement of procedures and nomograms are also addressed.
