Abstract
Abstract: Radial keratotomy (RK) was commonly performed in the 1980s and 1990s. We aimed to clarify the current status of post-RK refractive correction and treatment. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 70 patients with a history of RK. Of the 70 patients, 44 were identified for clinical outcomes. Refractive or therapeutic intervention (rigid gas-permeable contact lens fit, spectacle prescription, corneal surgery, and use of pilocarpine hydrochloride for photophobia) was possible in 59% of patients with postoperative visual deterioration after RK; in the remaining 41%, therapeutic intervention was not possible. Rigid gas-permeable contact lens fit for corneal irregular astigmatism was the most common refractive intervention and was effective in 36% of cases in the university hospital.
期刊介绍：
Eye & Contact Lens: Science and Clinical Practice is the official journal of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists (CLAO), an international educational association for anterior segment research and clinical practice of interest to ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other vision care providers and researchers. Focusing especially on contact lenses, it also covers dry eye disease, MGD, infections, toxicity of drops and contact lens care solutions, topography, cornea surgery and post-operative care, optics, refractive surgery and corneal stability (eg, UV cross-linking). Peer-reviewed and published six times annually, it is a highly respected scientific journal in its field.
