Changes in visual acuity, refraction, corneal tomography, and corneal biomechanics (Ocular Response Analyzer, Reichert) were evaluated during a 6\u2009month follow-up. Likewise, changes in ring segment implantation depth measured by optical coherence tomography (Visante OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec) were also evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mean relative depth of implantation was 71.6\u2009\u00b1\u20095.8%, 71.5\u2009\u00b1\u20096.5%, and 71.9\u2009\u00b1\u20096.3% at 1, 3, and 6\u2009months after surgery, respectively (p\u2009=\u20090.827). The difference between the real relative depth of implantation and the theoretical attempted value of 70% was not statistically significant (p\u2009=\u20090.072). Differences in spherical equivalent during the follow-up changed significantly depending on the level of relative depth of implantation (p\u2009=\u20090.036), with an increase of 0.114\u2009D per each 1% increase in relative depth of implantation. Likewise, a decrease of \u20130.194\u2009D in the steepest keratometric reading was found per each decrease of 1% in relative depth of implantation (p\u2009=\u20090.026). Changes in corneal thickness (p\u2009=\u20090.092) and biomechanics (p\u2009=\u20090.080) were not related to relative depth of implantation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The effect on visual acuity and refraction of intracorneal ring segments when implanted in corneal ectasia is less clinically relevant when the implantation is done at a very deep plane.
