    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Refractive Surgery
    • Corneal Surgery

    Background:

    • Non-radial keratotomy encompasses alternative surgical techniques to traditional radial keratotomy.
    • These procedures aim to correct refractive errors but lack extensive research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current non-radial keratotomy surgical techniques.
    • To provide guidance for patient counseling regarding these alternative procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of non-radial keratotomy surgeries.
    • Analysis of existing studies on refractive predictability and risks.

    Main Results:

    • A limited number of studies exist for non-radial keratotomy procedures.
    • Refractive predictability remains a significant concern for these alternative surgeries.

    Conclusions:

    • Non-radial keratotomy procedures present potential risks due to a paucity of data.
    • Careful patient counseling is essential when considering these refractive surgery options.
