Radial Keratotomy (RK) - Treat Mild to Moderate Nearsightedness
Radial Keratotomy (RK) treats mild to moderate nearsightedess. The surgeon makes incisions in a radial (spoke-like) pattern in your cornea, which causes it to flatten, thus reducing nearsightedness. The procedure usually takes less than half an hour. Ten years ago, RK was performed fairly often. Today, surgeons prefer newer myopia correction procedures, such as LASIK, LASEK and PRK
