The study is a prospective, non-randomized, interventional clinical study, included a total of 30 eyes of 24 patients. We insert ICRS In two different site of cornea in the steep meridian vs. flat meridian and follow-up 1w,3m and 6 m. after surgery. this technique is statistically significant decreasing myopia, corneal steepness, and decentration of the of the corneal apex.
