Synopsis "Radial Keratotomy"

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Radial keratotomy (RK) is a refractive surgical procedure to correct myopia. The procedure was discovered by accident by Svyatoslav Fyodorov who removed glass from the eye of one of his patients who had been in an accident. A boy, who wore eyeglasses, fell off his bicycle and his glasses shattered on impact, with glass particles lodging in his eyes. A procedure was performed consisting of making numerous radial incisions which extended from the pupil to the periphery of the cornea in a pattern like the spokes of a wheel. After the glass was removed (by this method) and the cornea healed, he found that the patient''s eyesight was significantly improved. In radial keratotomy (RK), incisions are made with a precision calibrated diamond knife. It has been found that incisions that penetrate only the superficial corneal stroma are less effective than those reaching deep into the cornea, and consequently incisions are made quite deep.
