Article Synopsis
  • Thirty patients with low myopia (between -0.75 to -2.5 D) received radial keratotomy, resulting in 47 treated eyes.
  • The surgery involved creating an optical zone of 3.0 to 4.5 mm and making full-thickness radial incisions in specific eye meridians using either the "Russian" technique or a centrifugal method with a specially designed knife.
  • The mean refractive outcome was 1.73 D, suggesting that this technique is less traumatic and offers a quicker stabilization of vision for low myopia.

Seventy eight patients (156 eyes) were treated by radial keratotomy. Patients with spherical axial myopia were selected (including 39% of physiological astigmatism cases). After radial conventional technique the against-the-rule astigmatism > 1.

Article Synopsis
  • Corneal microperforations can lead to astigmatism because they alter how light is refracted through the eye.
  • To address this problem, specific incisions called "flag" or tangential incisions are made on the opposite meridian of the eye.
  • These incisions help balance the refractive effect caused by the perforations, improving vision.
