MyORING share experience

Postby ptaszeek » Thu 24 Apr 2014 10:12 am

I have keratoconus 4 very advanced stage, but is suitable for implantation of MyORING. Looking for someone who wears it to describe his impressions as seen before as after the operation, and as night vision.
What size ring is?

I assume you're talking about ICRS (intrastromal corneal ring segments). In the UK, the type that are most usually fitted are Intacs or sometimes Ferrara Rings. I haven't come across Myorings - is that the correct spelling?
We have some forum users who have had rings fitted. But they don't seem to work for everybody and we also have forum users who have had them removed. So experience seems to vary!

Thanks for the link. It looks like a refinement of the corneal rings that are used in the UK. I don't know if anyone here has had this procedure. Most of the posts on this forum are about Intacs, which are the rings most often used here.
