[Anterior delimiting keratotomy in posttraumatic corneal cicatrices]

Anterior dosed keratotomy has been tried for the correction of posttraumatic 'cicatricial' astigmatism. Virtually no data on the surgical treatment of 'cicatricial' astigmatism, particularly high, is available, whereas the presence of this condition is a contraindication to traditional keratotomy. The authors' data show good prospects of nontraditional keratotomy for the treatment of such conditions of the cornea.
