    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Refractive Surgery

    Context:

    • American surgeons have refined radial keratotomy techniques.
    • Dr. Shepard has performed over 1800 radial keratotomy procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of modified radial keratotomy.
    • To analyze visual results, refraction, and patient satisfaction.

    Summary:

    • 43 patients were studied 1 week to 42.5 months post-surgery.
    • The study details preoperative evaluation, surgical technique, complications, and postoperative management.
    • Most patients expressed satisfaction despite under/overcorrection, long-term treatment, glare, and diurnal visual variations.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into the long-term efficacy and patient experience of modified radial keratotomy.
  • Highlights common outcomes and challenges associated with the procedure.
