    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Refractive Surgery

    Background:

    • Radial keratotomy is a surgical procedure to correct myopia.
    • Understanding patient experiences and visual fluctuations is crucial for refractive surgery outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A 38-year-old ophthalmologist underwent bilateral radial keratotomy.
    • The patient documented perceptions and visual experiences before, during, and for 12 months following the procedure.

    Findings:

    • Three distinct types of visual fluctuations were experienced by the patient.
    • Successful adaptation to monovision was achieved post-surgery.

    Implications:

    • This case study provides valuable subjective data on the long-term visual effects of radial keratotomy.
    • Insights into visual fluctuations and monovision adaptation can inform patient counseling and surgical planning.
