Kriss cuts for the correction of high myopia

We describe a radial keratotomy technique for the correction of high myopia. At present, the highest myopic correction is obtained by the smallest optical zone diameter (3 mm), by the maximum number of incisions (16), by the maximum number of redeepenings (3), and by incision of the tissue bridges. To obtain additional corneal flattening, we suggest lengthening the incisions curvilinearly. We present results of cases treated with curvilinear incision and two other techniques.
