Abstract
- Objective: To analyze the clinical benefits of implanting the Ferrara ring in patients with keratoconus. Methods: This is an integrative review, carried out through the search of complete articles, in full, in 2017-2022, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, related to the objective of the work, in the main libraries: VHL, Science Direct and SCIELO, crossing the DeCS: “keratoconus”, “Ferrara”, “implantation” and as a Boolean operator “AND”. The following guiding question was used: Can the Ferrara intracorneal ring bring postoperative benefits to patients undergoing this surgical procedure? The selected articles were systematized, extracting relevant information and interpreting the main data. Results: From 251 articles, 17 of them were used in the construction of this work. The implantation of the Ferrara intracorneal ring is a surgery that minimizes the damage caused by keratoconus, as well as reduces the progression of the disease, constituting a detailed procedure, however beneficial from a clinical point of view. Final considerations: In this way, it is clear that the implantation of the Ferrara ring brings numerous benefits to the patient with keratoconus, in improving visual acuity, refraction levels and corneal topography, preventing progression and stopping the development of the disease.

Métodos: Se trata de una revisión integradora, realizada a través de la búsqueda de artículos completos, en su totalidad, en 2017-2022, en portugués, inglés y español, relacionados con el objetivo del trabajo, en las principales bibliotecas: BVS, Science Direct y SCIELO, cruzando el DeCS: “queratocono”, “Ferrara”, “implante” y como operador booleano “AND”. Se utilizó la siguiente pregunta orientadora: ¿El anillo intracorneal de Ferrara puede traer beneficios postoperatorios a los pacientes sometidos a este procedimiento quirúrgico? Los artículos seleccionados fueron sistematizados, extrayendo información relevante e interpretando los datos principales. Resultados: De 251 artículos, 17 de ellos fueron utilizados en la construcción de este trabajo. La implantación del anillo intracorneal de Ferrara es una cirugía que minimiza el daño causado por el queratocono, así como reduce la progresión de la enfermedad, constituyendo un procedimiento detallado, pero beneficioso desde el punto de vista clínico. Consideraciones finales: Así, queda claro que la implantación del anillo de Ferrara aporta numerosos beneficios al paciente con queratocono, en la mejora de la agudeza visual, los niveles de refracción y la topografía corneal, evitando la progresión y deteniendo el desarrollo de la enfermedad.
