Corneal ring implantation in New Al Shefa Clinic
About the clinic
Corneal ring implantation at New Al Shefa Clinic in Dubai is a specialized procedure used to treat advanced keratoconus. This surgery uses intracorneal ring segments to flatten the cone-like shape of the cornea and improve vision. The treatment is led by Dr. Ahmad Hossein Zadeh, a consultant ophthalmologist with over 30 years of experience in corneal surgery.
Treatment for Keratoconus
The procedure involves placing small inserts into the middle layer of the cornea. These segments provide support to the corneal structure and help restore a more natural, rounded shape. By flattening the cornea, the rings help focus light more accurately and slow down the progression of the disease. This method is often recommended for patients who can no longer wear contact lenses or whose condition is worsening.
Benefits and Reversibility
One of the main advantages of corneal ring segments is that they are not permanent. The inserts can be removed or replaced if the patient's vision needs change over time. This procedure acts as a vital step to avoid or delay the need for a full corneal transplant. Patients often experience clearer vision and a better fit for corrective lenses after the eye heals.
