Intacs, Ferrara, Kerarings or Keratacx?

Postby kerablues » Wed 07 Nov 2012 7:29 pm

Does anyone have much information on the differences between these brands of intrastromal ring segments? Also does anyone know if it's possible to request these from UK clinics or specialists? I know Keratacx rings are used in the US but I haven't found any info if they are supplied to the UK (or even if they are approved to be used in the UK).

Welcome to the forum. I am afraid I don't know whether there is any difference. If there is a difference between these brnds, I am afraid I don't know what it is. I am, however, pretty certain that there will be someone along in a moment who does know the answers.

In the meantime, let me welcome you to the forum.
