Abstract
Purpose:
Evaluation of corneal topography of patients examined before and after radial keratotomy.
Material And Methods:
There were 23 patients (40 eyes) examined at our department. The corneal shape was evaluated by use of EYE-SYS company equipment.
Results:
Postoperatively marked flattening of the central cornea was noticed with hypercorrection which decreased during postoperative period up to six months. Good postoperative results persisted after 18 months. Additional corneal incisions during RK decreased astigmatism effectively.
Conclusion:
Examination and corneal shape analysis before and after RK enabled an objective and quantitative evaluation of this procedure.
