INTACS Corneal Ring Segments
INTACS implantable corneal ring segments correct mild nearsightedness—without having to undergo laser surgery.
INTACS reshape corneal curvature without removing tissue from the central optical zone.
This subtle reshaping makes nearsighted corneas flatter, thereby correcting vision.
INTACS, which are FDA approved, are a safe and effective means for correcting mild nearsightedness.
INTACS offer greater flexibility, because they can be removed (unlike laser surgery), or replaced to fine tune residual refractive error. In U.S. clinical studies, 97% of patients saw 20/40 or better with INTACS.
The INTACS procedure usually takes about 15 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.
To see if you are a candidate for Intacs, please contact Chu Vision Institute to schedule a consultation.

INTACS are made of a special biocompatible plastic that has been safely used for nearly 50 years in contact lenses and in intraocular lenses used to treat cataract patients.
