CORNEAL IMPLANT EDGES AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

Corneal implants and methods for reducing gap formation between corneal tissue after implanting the corneal implant. In some embodiments the corneal implants include a peripheral portion adapted to be reconfigured to more closely conform to the shape of a corneal bed. In some embodiments the corneal implant is adapted to be reconfigured such that when a corneal flap is positioned over the corneal implant gap formation is reduced or eliminated.
