Custom-shaped CAIRS for personalized treatment of Keratoconus.

The editorial in the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology discusses the use of custom-shaped Corneal Allogeneic Intrastromal Ring Segments (CAIRS) for personalized treatment of Keratoconus. The author, Dr. Soosan Jacob, describes the customization process based on individual patient characteristics, including topographic maps and refractive errors. Custom-shaped CAIRS offer advantages over synthetic intracorneal ring segments by allowing on-spot customization to achieve the desired configuration. Dr. Jacob's nomogram for custom-shaped CAIRS is unique and differs from other existing nomograms in the field. [Extracted from the article]
