Keratoconus is a progressive, non-inflammatory disease, characterized by stromal thinning and gradual protrusion of the cornea into a conical shape, resulting in irregular astigmatism and reduced visual acuity. Current treatment options available for the treatment of keratoconus suffer from major limitations, in particular Intra-Corneal Ring Segments (ICRS) offer scarce remodeling support to the cornea leading to unpredictable clinical results. The GROSSO® implant is the world's first nitinol corneal implant aiming at remodeling the whole cornea by virtue of a dome-shaped design. The mechanical performance of the GROSSO® implant was evaluated computationally in two potentially critical situations. The first situation consists of a 90° bending of two opposite edges of the implant occurring during its minimally invasive implantation in the patient's intracorneal pocket.
