    Summary

    Axial length measurements before radial keratotomy surgery are crucial for procedure decisions. Postoperative measurements in 49 eyes showed a mean axial length variation of -0.1 mm.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Refractive Surgery

    Background:

    • Axial length is a key biometric parameter in ophthalmology.
    • Accurate axial length measurement is essential for planning refractive surgical procedures like radial keratotomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the change in axial length following radial keratotomy.
    • To determine the clinical significance of axial length variation post-radial keratotomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Preoperative axial length measurements were taken for 68 eyes.
    • Postoperative axial length measurements were performed in 49 of these eyes.

    Main Results:

    • A mean variation in axial length of -0.1 mm was observed post-radially keratotomy.
    • This indicates a slight shortening of the eyeball after the procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Axial length measurement is an important factor influencing the decision for radial keratotomy.
    • A small but consistent change in axial length occurs after radial keratotomy.
