Four conventional RK incisions were performed on the right eye and four mini-RK incisions were performed on the left eye of 12 Island rabbits using a centripetal cutting...
متن کاملThe effect of altitude on radial keratotomy.
The authors analyzed refractive results of patients who underwent radial keratotomy (RK) at sea level and high altitude and evaluated the effects of the altitude. A total of 102 eyes undergoing RK procedures performed in two clinical centers having different altitude were analyzed. The results compared between subjects who had undergone RK at sea level (Istanbul/Turkey) and at an altitude of 57...
