VISION CORRECTION PROCEDURES
Intacs
A refractive surgical procedure that is used to treat patients with minimal nearsightedness. During this procedure, a small opening is made in the cornea. Two tiny semicircular tunnels are made in the outer portion of the cornea. The Intacs are placed in these tunnels. The cornea has several layers in it, like a pad of paper. Making a place for the Intacs is like separating two pages just enough to create a space. After the second Intac is in place, the small opening in the cornea is then closed using a single suture. There is mild to moderate discomfort and there will be fluctuation in vision for a minimal amount of time.
