Radial Keratotomy - RK
|
|
| Radial Keratotomy has been performed in the United States since
around 1980. Millions of people around the world have undergone this procedure, with
excellent results. This procedure involves the calculated placement of markings on the
surface of the eye in order to reshape the cornea and alter the point at which light
focuses. The surgeon uses a very fine diamond blade to make 4-8 incisions around the
center of the cornea. As the cornea heals, it flattens out in the center. This has the
same effect as corrective lenses, changing the angle in which light rays enter the eye. RK
is presently suggested for those patients with mild amounts of myopia. Dr. Rothchild has
been performing RK since 1987 and has helped thousands of patients reduce or eliminate
their need for eyeglass or contact lens correction. |
