Cornea with a 5-mm MyoRing. The arrows indicate the stress vector components within the cornea for a 5-mm MyoRing (left) and a 7-mm MyoRing (right). The true stress vector runs tangentially to local corneal curvature at the position of the implant. The horizontal vectors indicate the component of the intracorneal stress acting within the implant plane, which is the effective plane to take up the intracorneal stress.
