| 摘要 |
The present invention is a device that improves visual acuity by reshaping the cornea, by subjectively altering the corneal curvature in the optic zone by increasing the mechanical stiffness of the cornea outside (and/or slightly inside) the optic zone. One or more of the corneal battens are inserted into the cornea, after selectively distorting the natural corneal shape. Once inserted the stiffness of the corneal batten prevents the cornea from returning to its original curvature.
