Intacs: Intacs are inserted into the cornea, where they reshape the cornea. They can be helpful for mild to moderate keratoconus. Crosslinking is also effective, and can be performed before, during or after intacs.

Intacs Helps: Intacs helps improve vision. People with keratoconus, because of their weak and falling cornea are not seeing to the appropriate window. Meaning that when the intac is inserted it lifts up the cornea. Your specialist should monitor your cornea thickness to see if it may be progressing. And depending, cross linking may be necessary.
