Change in corneal curvature with elevation of intraocular pressure after radial keratotomy in the primate eye [PDF]
In contrast to previously published results derived from rabbit eyes, in the primate eye, artificially induced elevations in intraocular pressure (IOP) in the physiologic range did not significantly affect the refractive status after radial keratotomy ...

Laser in situ keratomileusis for undercorrection after radial keratotomy [PDF]
PURPOSE: To assess the safety and efficacy of excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in treating residual myopia and/or astigmatism following refractive keratotomy.METHODS: Fourteen eyes that had previously undergone radial and/or arcuate ...

Clinical examples of correct orientation of a toric intraocular lens in patients with postkeratotomic corneal ectasia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment of cataract in patients with postkeratotomic corneal ectasia has various features. First, difficulties arise when calculating the optical strength of an intraocular lens and its cylindrical component and determining the ...

Review of radial keratotomy in literature [PDF]
Radial keratotomy is a recent surgical technique designed to reduce and/or eliminate myopic refractive error by altering the corneal curvature. Since being introduced to the United States in the late seventies, this procedure has received much attention ...

Traumatic wound dehiscence 3 1/2 years after radial keratotomy [Traumatische Wunddehiszenz und Hornhautruptur 3 1/2 Jahre nach radiarer Keratomie] [PDF]
Background Severe complications such as a traumatic wound dehiscence have been described very rarely after radial keratotomy. The following case demonstrates for the first time that wound healing is not completed even 31/2 years postoperatively and that ...
