Intacs SK, another first for Yonge Eglinton Laser
We are the first center in Ontario, and one of only a few in Canada to be offering Intacs corneal ring segments for treatment of Keratoconus. These rings help to make the cornea more regular in people that have this problem. Yesterday, we implanted the “SK” variety of Intacs. These are a modification of the usual Intacs and are good for the higher degrees of keratoconus. We are the first center in Canada and the US to do this procedure with the SK implants, and are very excited to be there and watch our patients improve and benefit from the Intacs, where formerly, a corneal transplant may have been the only option.
We now have almost 2 years followup on our patients with the SK segments and have many people who have achieved a very good outcome with these modalities
