Abstract
Refractive corneal surgeries are procedures for correction of refractive errors. Modern keratorefractive procedures include laser in situ keratomileusis, surface ablation, relatively newer refractive lenticule extraction, and corneal inlays. This article aims to present an overview of currently performed refractive corneal procedures. Basic aspects of patient selection, principles, advantages, limitations, complications, and clinical outcomes are discussed.
