Understanding Radial Keratotomy
What is Radial Keratotomy?
Radial keratotomy, or RK, changes the shape of the cornea by making incisions with a surgical knife to flatten, steepen or alter the contour of the front of the eye.
Benefits of Radial keratotomy:
 It was developed in the Soviet Union and became a common surgery worldwide in the 1970s. The corneal incisions are very effective at changing the shape of the eye. If was found that incisions made only to the shallow part of the cornea did not improve the eyesight as well as incisoins that reach deep into the cornea so incisions are made deep into the cornea. Being that these incisions go almost all the way through the cornea, and because the healing process varies greatly among individuals, complications are more common with RK than with laser refractive surgery. The more serous complications include severe scarring requiring further surgery or constant blurring that cannot be treated with contacts lenses or glasses. While RK may still be recommended for certain select individuals, it is rapidly being supplanted by laser surgery for all vision correction applications.
