Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007113225A1] The invention relates to a support element for compensating for deformations of the cornea (H) of an eye, with a one-part or multi-part annular support body (2) with which it is possible to compensate for keratoconus with minimal loading of the cornea of the treated eye. According to the invention, this is achieved by the fact that the support body (2) has a cross section that is flattened on one side and is otherwise rounded, such that a peripheral flattening (6) is formed on it.
