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.
two similar surgical techniques that use an excimer laser to correct nearsightedness (myopia ) by reshaping the cornea.

photorefractive Keratectomy
It is. However, there is laser treatments that can change correct myopia now. But without surgery, only glasses can correct myopic vision.
Myopia
A TLC Laser Eye Center has various procedures to correct different vision's problems. Their ophthalmologists are able to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
Laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a non-reversible refractive procedure performed by ophthalmologists to correct myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.
A radial keratotomy is performed to treat nearsightedness (myopia). It involves making incisions in the cornea to flatten its steep curvature and improve vision.
The type of eyeglasses that correct myopia are called concave lenses, in other words, the center of the glasses are thinner than the outer part.
No they can't. Contact lenses and glasses correct the defect to imporve vision but they are unlikely to affect the undelying cause of myopia.
Yes, a positive meniscus lens can correct myopia (nearsightedness) by converging light rays to focus properly on the retina, improving vision for distant objects. This type of lens helps to move the focal point back to the retina, reducing the blurriness associated with myopia.
