Advanced KC significantly impairs patients' quality of life, making early detection of the condition a critical goal for specialists. Early identification of KC greatly influences both the treatment strategy and the outcomes.

Keratoconus is a progressive corneal disorder characterized by thinning and conical protrusion, leading to visual impairment that often necessitates advanced treatment strategies. Traditional management options, including corrective lenses, corneal cross-linking (CXL), and surgical interventions such as corneal transplants and intracorneal ring segments (ICRS), address symptoms but have limitations, especially in progressive or advanced cases. Recent advancements in corneal stromal regeneration offer promising alternatives for enhancing vision restoration and halting disease progression.

Introduction: Our aim was to evaluate the visual and refractive outcomes of iris-fixated phakic toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) for visual rehabilitation in eyes with stable corneal ectasia.
Methods: We conducted a study looking at the clinical outcomes of iris-fixated toric IOLs (Artisan) in 33 eyes of 27 patients diagnosed with mild-to-moderate corneal ectasia at a single center (Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, UK). The main outcome measures were functional improvement [accuracy of post-operative spherical equivalent (SE), astigmatic correction, topographic parameters, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UCVA, CDVA)] and safety of the procedure: endothelial cell count and intra- and post-operative complications.

Instituto Zaldivar, Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 1865, Argentina.
Background: Recently a new surgical technique for intracorneal ring-segments (ICRS) assisted by femtosecond laser (FSL) called ByLimB was developed, involving the creation of the incision from a paralimbic region. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the ByLimb technique following one year of follow-up.
Methods: A prospective, single-center study was conducted at the Zaldivar Institute in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
