چکیده
AIMS To assess the contribution of the four major operational variables in the radial keratotomy operation (RK) to the correction of myopic eyes. To study the deformation of the cornea after the operation and provide some valuable references for clinical practice. METHODS The expression of the correction ratio has been deduced, which can be directly represent as the deformation ratio of the corneal radius after the operation. This allows for the numerical simulation of the RK operation. On the basis of the known biomechanical property of the cornea, by means of the finite element method, a series of computerised geometric and biomechanical models for the simulation of refractive surgery have been established. Some operational variables in the RK operation were analysed, and their influence on the operational outcome has been computed and systematically analysed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION All of the four variables have a positive effect on the operational outcome. The greater the four variables are the more correction effects of myopia can be obtained. Because the four variables are interinfluential, the operational variables can be optimised to get the best result in order to meet patients' differing requirements.

متن کاملRisk management issues in radial keratotomy surgery.
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.
متن کامل[Aesthesiometry of the cornea after refractive corneal surgery].
The corneal sensibility was examined with the aesthesiometer of Draeger in 41 patients after refractive corneal surgery, 31 patients after radial keratotomy, 5 after epikeratophakia, 5 after excimer laser ablation. It could be shown that after radial corneal incisions the sensibility remains normal. After epikeratophakia the corneal sensibility is asensible even 3 years after operation. The len...

BACKGROUND Progressive hyperopia is a common complication following radial keratotomy. METHODS Ten eyes of ten consecutive patients with hyperopia after radial keratotomy between +1.75 and +4.00 diopters (D) were treated with the hyperopia module of the Nidek Model EC-5000 excimer laser. The mean preoperative uncorrected visual acuity was 0.38 (20/60+). RESULTS After excimer laser photorefr...
متن کاملRole of spherical aberration in contrast sensitivity loss with radial keratotomy.
A technique is described to determine the change in image contrast as a result of the spherical aberration induced by the radial keratotomy procedure. The hypothesis that the loss in contrast sensitivity of the RK eye is due to the change in spherical aberration postsurgically, is found to be acceptable for some patients. However, this is not a sufficient explanation in all cases. This conclusi...
