(Vocus) April 12, 2010 -- Khanna Institute will now be offering Intacs of 400 microns and 450 micronsand even 210 microns. This follows the announcement by the maker of Intacs corneal implants Addition Technology, Inc., that it has received FDA approval for an expanded range of additional sizes of Intacs corneal implants for keratoconus.

“The availability of the larger sizes of Intacs in the US expands its use when treating keratoconus patients. In my practice, where I manage many keratoconus patients, I can definitely see a broader subsection of patients benefiting from these new Intacs sizes,” said Rajesh Khanna, M.D., Director of Khanna Institute of LASIK and Refractive Surgery, Beverly Hills. “I have been pleased with the results of Intacs in keratoconus patients and now see this as an additional option to delay or avoid a corneal transplant for keratoconic patients.”

Surgeons in Europe have been presenting data for over 10 years regarding the benefits of the larger sizes. Based on the impressive results they have reported, this as an important breakthrough in addressing keratoconus patients, who till now could not avail of the best size required. Intacs help the patients by changing the shape of their distorted corneas. This decreases their higher order aberrations and can help them with their activities of daily living.
