Intacs corneal implants gently reshape the curve of your cornea from within in order to correct mild nearsightedness. Intacs corneal implants provide crisp, clear, maintenance-free vision and they can be replaced or removed if your vision correction needs change. Unlike laser surgery, no corneal tissue is removed.

These micro-thin implants are inserted under the outer edge of your cornea during a brief outpatient procedure. You cannot feel Intacs corneal implants once they have been inserted. Intacs corneal implants are approved by the FDA and are FAA-approved for pilots. 

Intacs corneal implants are an exciting option for individuals who find it intolerable to wear contact lenses and are facing a corneal transplant. These implants may be the best possible option to stabilize the cornea, improve vision, and potentially defer the need for a corneal transplant.
