What is CAIRS?

Customised CAIRS (Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segment) treatment is a minimally invasive corneal procedure primarily used to treat keratoconus and certain types of irregular corneal astigmatism.

-Concept: Instead of using synthetic intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS), CAIRS uses donor corneal tissue shaped into ring segments.
-Placement: These natural tissue ring segments are inserted into channels within the cornea to reshape and stabilize it.
-Technology: The treatment is typically done with femtosecond laser precision, ensuring accurate placement and minimal disruption.

What does it treat?
-Keratoconus: A progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape, causing distorted vision.
-Pellucid Marginal Degeneration or similar corneal ectasias.
-Post-refractive surgery corneal irregularities (in selected cases).

Why customised?
-Each patient’s corneal shape and severity of ectasia is unique.
-The size, thickness, and placement of the tissue ring segments are tailored to the individual’s corneal anatomy and visual needs.
-Often combined with corneal cross-linking (CXL) for added biomechanical stability.

Benefits of customised CAIRS over synthetic ICRS
-Uses biological tissue, which integrates better and may reduce complications such as glare or extrusion.
-Can be removed or adjusted if necessary.
-Preserves future treatment options like corneal transplantation.

👁️ Did You Know? Your Cornea Has No Blood Vessels

Your cornea - the clear front surface of your eye - contains no blood vessels. And that’s a very good thing.

If blood flowed through the cornea, it would scatter light and blur your vision. Instead, this remarkable transparent tissue stays crystal clear so light can pass through perfectly and focus on the retina.

So how does it survive without blood supply?

✨ It absorbs oxygen directly from the air through your tear film.
✨ It receives nutrients from the fluid inside your eye (the aqueous humour).

This delicate balance is what keeps your vision sharp and your cornea healthy.

At Eye Laser Clinic, we carefully assess the health and thickness of your cornea before any vision correction procedure - because healthy corneas are essential for clear sight.

🚨 A Grey Curtain Over Your Vision? This Could Be Serious.

A retinal detachment happens when the retina is pulled away from its normal position at the back of the eye.

It is a true eye emergency - and without urgent treatment, it can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness.

⚠️ Watch for these warning signs:

✨ Sudden flashes of light
🕸 A rapid increase in floaters
🌫 A grey curtain or veil moving across your vision
📉 Sudden blurred or reduced vision in one eye

Retinal detachment is usually painless. That’s what makes it dangerous - many people wait too long.

👁️ Higher risk if you are:
• Nearsighted
• Over 50
• Have had cataract surgery
• Have glaucoma
• Have had eye trauma
• Have a family history of retinal detachment

⏳ The sooner it is treated, the better the chance of saving your vision.

If your vision suddenly changes - don’t wait. Seek urgent ophthalmic care.

The human eye is a masterpiece of precision. 👁️

At its centre sits the lens - a clear, flexible structure that constantly changes shape to focus light onto the retina. This process, called accommodation, allows us to shift effortlessly from reading a book to spotting movement in the distance.

When the lens is clear and flexible, vision is sharp.
When it becomes stiff or cloudy, focus and clarity are affected - reminding us just how vital this tiny structure is to how we see the world.

Those tiny dots, threads or shadows drifting across your vision are called floaters 👁️

They’re usually caused by natural changes in the vitreous gel inside the eye and are very common - especially as we age or if you are short-sighted. Most floaters are harmless, and over time the brain often learns to ignore them.

⚠️ However:
If you notice a sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a dark shadow in your vision, it’s important to have your eyes checked urgently - as this can signal a retinal problem.

At Eye Laser Clinic, we assess floaters carefully to protect your long-term vision.

The cornea: your eye’s clear shield and main focusing surface 👁️✨

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front layer of the eye - and it does far more than protect your vision.

Here’s why the cornea matters:

• It provides 65–75% of the eye’s total focusing power, bending light so images can be sharply focused on the retina
• It is crystal clear and has no blood vessels, allowing light to pass through unobstructed
• It is one of the most nerve-rich tissues in the body, making it highly sensitive and protective
• It is made up of five specialised layers, each essential for strength, clarity, and hydration control
• Its precise shape and structure are critical - even small changes can cause blurred vision, glare, or halos

👁️‍🗨️ The cornea works together with the lens inside the eye, but unlike the lens, the cornea provides fixed focusing power.
That’s why corneal health and measurements are essential when considering procedures like laser vision correction.

At , advanced diagnostics are used to assess corneal thickness, shape, and stability - because clear vision always starts with a healthy cornea.

👁️👁️Visual Freedom

At Eye Laser & Cataract Centres, eye care has always started with precision, education, and long-term outcomes. Since 1993, our focus has been on understanding how each eye functions - and choosing the safest, most suitable treatment for that individual.

Not every patient needs the same solution. Some benefit from laser vision correction, others from advanced cataract surgery, lens implants, or specialised medical eye care. That’s why thorough diagnostics and personalised planning matter more than any single procedure.

Led by Dr Johann Kruger, our teams work across Tyger Valley, Paarl and the V&A Waterfront, combining advanced technology with decades of surgical experience - always guided by what’s best for the patient’s vision, lifestyle and long-term eye health.

Clear vision starts with understanding.
Informed choices lead to confident outcomes.

Common symptoms of cataracts 👁️

Do you feel like you’re looking through foggy glass?
Cataracts often develop slowly - and many people don’t realise what they’re experiencing is not “just ageing.”

Common signs include:
• Cloudy or blurred vision
• Needing more light to read
• Colours appearing dull or faded
• Increased sensitivity to light and glare
• Difficulty seeing at night
• Frequent changes in glasses prescription

Cataracts are one of the most common - and most treatable - causes of vision loss.
Early diagnosis makes all the difference.

👁️👁️ Your eyes may be trying to tell you something…

Your vision rarely changes all at once - it changes gradually, often so subtly that many people adapt without realising something is wrong.

Blurred or cloudy vision, glare or halos around lights at night, eye strain, headaches, or frequent changes in glasses prescriptions are common signs that your eyes may be undergoing structural or refractive changes.

At our ophthalmologists use advanced diagnostic technology to assess the entire visual system - from the cornea and natural lens to retinal health - to identify the cause of vision changes and guide appropriate treatment.

Many eye conditions are highly treatable when detected early.

👁 Prioritise regular eye assessments.
