I'm not sure that there is one, but somebody else will be along in a moment to tell me I'm wrong.

Re: Differance between Intacs And Ferrara
here is a description of the difference between intacs and intacs sk (http://www.medicalsintl.com/groupDesc.a ... ubgrpID=30)
pinched from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratoconus) here is their explanation of the differences;
The principal intrastromal ring available is known by the trade name of Intacs. Internationally, Ferrara Rings are also available. Intacs are a patented technology and are placed outside the optical zone versus the smaller prismatic Ferrara rings that are placed just inside the 5 mm optical zone
It would appear that there is little difference between each, mainly branding/patenting and slightly different positioning. I think it depends on a surgoens professional and personal choices

Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!
I´m not strange, I´m just not normal
Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad is a full minute of happiness you never get back
