Three groups of patients, each one including 8 eyes of patients with 16 RK incisions. The first group includes eyes with the first cataract incision superiorly, the second group in the temporal area, the third group in temporal area and a precautionary stabilizing suture across the RK incision adjacent to the main tunnel. In the first group intraoperative dehiscence occurred in three eyes（37.5%）： it required immediate application of a suture. In the second group dehiscence occurred intraoperatively in two radial scars（20%）： it required immediate application of a suture. In the third group, no intraoperative dehiscences were observed. The stabilizing suture of the RK incision works safer, with a lower risk of dehiscences and less postoperative astigmatism.展开更多

Unconnected visual acuity of 20/40 or better was obtained in 99. 4% of eyes with low myopia, 64. 2% with moderate myopia and 32. 4% with high myopia. For anisometropia, bilateral RK reduced refractive error from -12. 12D to -5. 22D in more myopic eyes...展开更多
