Abstract:
In this article, reprinted from Ophthalmic Risk Management Digest, the bases for radial keratotomy-related claims and guidelines for avoiding such claims are discussed. In most lawsuits, it is not the procedure itself that is on trial, but the use of unusual technique, improper execution, or inadequacy of informed consent.
