title: Intrastromal corneal ring segments and corneal anterior stromal necrosis.
abstract: Poly(methyl methacrylate) refractive intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) can be removed for a refractive miscorrection or for early complications after implantation. We report the first case of a woman who experienced anterior stromal necrosis 5 years after an ICRS surgical procedure.
