Summary:
INTACS Process Pre-operative procedures for this process include extensive examination of each eye to determine if they are suitable.

As in all eye surgeries, the eyes are first numbed with anesthetic drops and an eyelid holder is placed to prevent blinking.

A small incision is made in the cornea and a centering guide is placed on the surface.

Using the centering guide, two micro-sized tunnels are made in the periphery of the cornea and the INTAC inserts are placed.

The opening is closed up and antibiotic drops maybe applied.

Improvement in vision should be noticed immediately but some people require a few days.
