Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Radial keratotomy is effective for myopia correction, with 96% achieving good vision post-surgery. Long-term stability is high, though higher myopia cases showed less reliable outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Radial keratotomy (RK) is a refractive surgical procedure aimed at correcting myopia.
  • Assessing the long-term outcomes and safety of RK within a national healthcare system is crucial.
