The implantation of AlphaCor is a unique
two stage procedure. The first stage of the surgery involves the
surgeon creating a pocket with the existing scarred cornea and
inserting the device removing a portion of the scarred cornea first.
This is usually performed under general anesthetic.
Approximately three months after this initial surgery, a second,
smaller procedure is performed. At this stage, the scarred tissue
that is covering the AlphaCor is removed to allow the light to
enter.
Surgeons wanting details of the surgery, patient selection and
management regimes should contact
