Who is best suited to radial keratotomy?
Radial keratotomy is a surgical procedure used to correct nearsightedness (myopia). It is best suited for individuals with low to moderate levels of myopia who are not good candidates for other vision correction procedures like LASIK or PRK. It is important to consult with an ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for radial keratotomy.
What are PRK and LASIK?
two similar surgical techniques that use an excimer laser to correct nearsightedness (myopia ) by reshaping the cornea.
