    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Refractive Surgery

    Context:

    • Corneal surgery has evolved into a specialized discipline over the last eight years.
    • It addresses various refractive errors, including myopia and hypermetropia.

    Purpose:

    • To review surgical techniques for correcting refractive errors.
    • To highlight the possibilities, limitations, and risks associated with each method.

    Summary:

    • Radial keratotomy is common for mild to moderate myopia (-1 to -6D).
    • Keratomileusis is used for severe myopia (-8 to -16D).
    • Epikeratophakia corrects myopia or hypermetropia across a broader range (5 to 30D).

    Impact:

    • These procedures offer alternatives for patients unsuitable for contact lenses.
    • Predictability of surgical outcomes is a significant consideration.
