Xenia Collagen Implant: Reshape Your Vision Without a Transplant
An innovative, minimally invasive solution to strengthen and reshape the cornea—tailored to your stage of keratoconus.
What is the Xenia Collagen Implant?
The Xenia Collagen Implant is a bioengineered corneal insert designed to provide structural support and visual enhancement in patients with keratoconus. It comes in two anatomical forms—each tailored to address different stages and patterns of the disease:
- Lenticule Form: A small disc-shaped implant inserted into the corneal stroma to increase thickness and reinforce areas of advanced thinning.
- Ring Form: A curved ring segment placed within the cornea to flatten the cone and regularise the shape, improving clarity and focus.
Benefits of the Xenia Collagen Implant:
- Corneal Reinforcement: Strengthens the cornea to halt or slow progression.
- Improved Vision: Smooths the corneal surface, reducing distortions and improving acuity.
- Minimally Invasive: An alternative to transplant surgery with faster recovery.
- Customisable: Two forms available for varying disease patterns.
- Rapid Recovery: Many patients return to normal activities within days.
