    Summary

    This study evaluated radial keratotomy for myopia and astigmatism. Statistically derived predictors accurately forecast refractive changes in 72.9% of eyes after surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Refractive Surgery

    Background:

    • Radial keratotomy is a surgical procedure to correct myopia and astigmatism.
    • Predicting refractive outcomes is crucial for patient satisfaction and surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness and predictability of anterior radial keratotomy.
    • To identify statistically derived predictors for refractive change after radial keratotomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 1,058 consecutive radial keratotomy surgeries.
    • Analysis of eyes with and without astigmatism incisions.
    • Statistical modeling to identify predictors of refractive outcome.

    Main Results:

    • The study analyzed 1,058 radial keratotomy surgeries.

  • Statistically derived predictors accounted for 72.9% of outcome variations.
  • Predictability was assessed for eyes with and without astigmatism incisions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radial keratotomy demonstrates effectiveness in correcting myopia and astigmatism.
    • Statistically derived predictors offer significant predictability for refractive outcomes.
    • Further analysis of surgical technique and comparison to other series is detailed in Part I.
