Purpose: To describe a new technique for the treatment of keratoconus using corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments (CAIRS).
Methods: CAIRS trephined from donor cornea using a double-bladed trephine were implanted into mid-depth femtosecond laser-dissected channels in the cornea of patients with keratoconus in the 6.5-mm optic zone, followed by accelerated corneal cross-linking (A-CXL)-either conventional or contact lens-assisted CXL (A-CACXL), depending on minimum corneal thickness.
