Eyes with Intacs had a shorter recovery time than eyes having PKP. The eyes with Intacs had no complications. Complications in eyes with PKP included cataract, graft rejection, and elevated intraocular pressure. Thus, Intacs segments may delay or prevent the need for a corneal graft, although longer follow-up is needed.

Within the scope of six cases with 9-month postoperative follow-up, implantation of 6-mm Intacs SK appears to be a safe and effective treatment option for management of advanced cases of keratectasia after LASIK.
