L’anello che guarisce la miopia

MYORING
MyoRing is a 360° continous full-ring implant to be implanted into a corneal pocket for the treatment of Myopia and Keratoconus. The internationally patented device combines two a-priori contradictory qualities: rigidity for the modelling and stabilisation of the corneal shape after implantation and flexibility (shape memory) for the implantation via a small pocket entry to preserve the corneal biomechanics.

To preserve the biomechanics of the cornea it is most important to keep the width of the corneal pocket entry less than 5.5 mm. To achieve optimal visual results it is important to create the corneal pocket for MyoRing implantation by using the PocketMaker Ultrakeratome which guarantees a perfectly smooth interface and, consequently, adaptation of the corneal shape to a new biomechanical equilibrium.

The treatment is minimally invasive and easy to perform. It is intra- and postoperatively painless with a very short rehabilitation time.

Indications:

Myopia:
All grades of Myopia between 1 dioptre and 20 dioptre, which are not eligible to Excimer Laser treatment such as:

thin cor neas
irregular cor neal surface
forme fruste keratoconus
high myopia
the patient denies LASIK but wants a minimally-invasive and reversible myopia treatment
Keratoconus:
All grades of non-central and central Keratoconus, PMD as well as post-LASIK Keratectasia as long as the minimal corneal thickness is larger than 350 microns.1 In very advanced cases, the MyoRing implantation should be combined with corneal crosslinking.

Advantages & Benefits

Myopia:
In comparison to other alternatives to Excimer Laser treatment, which are intraocular procedures with significant risks, side-effects and long-term complications, MyoRing implantation into a corneal pocket is minimally invasive, reversible and easy to perform.

Keratoconus:
In comparison to the treatment with ring-segments, MyoRing implantation into a corneal pocket is more effective in all grades of Keratoconus and allows the surgeon access to all 3 theoretically possible degrees of freedom of an intra-corneal implant in order to achieve the best possible result in every given case. Since the MyoRing is a continous ring without free ends, typical complications
of ring-segments such as e.g. extrusions are usually not seen in MyoRing treatment.

Dimensions:

Depending on the grade of Myopia and Keratoconus the diameter of the MyoRing ranges from 5 – 8 mm and the thickness ranges from 200 – 320 microns.

Nomogram:

Myopia:
The nomogram for the selection of the right Myo-Ring dimension for myopia depends on the spherical equivalent of the manifest refraction as long as the manifest cylinder is less than 1 dioptre.

Keratoconus:
The nomogram for the selection of the right Myo-Ring dimension for keratoconus is very simple and depends only on the value of the central average K-reading according to (SIM K1 + SIM K2)/2.

Buongiorno Dottore!
Sarei interessato all'intervento in questione! Ho una miopia di 4,75 dell'occhio sinistro e 4,50 sul destro!
Mi saprebbe dare una cifra indicativa riguardo ai costi di tale intervento?

Cordiali saluti
