The Ferrara Ring is a minimally invasive surgical option designed to correct ectatic corneal diseases in order to reduce the corneal steepening, reduce the irregular astigmatism and improve the visual acuity. The Ferrara ring is a surgical alternative to at least delay, if not eliminate, the need of lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty.
There are very few risks. As with any other surgery, there may be an infection. In this case, the ring shall be removed. There is no risk of rejection from the body. The surgery does not damage or prevent a cornea transplant. The complications are minimal and, most important, reversible. This means the ring can be removed and the cornea recovers its original size.
