Making Laser Surgery Safer for RK Patients

Newswise — A new study being presented at the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s 2007 Annual Meeting suggests that the laser surgery can help improve and possibly stabilize the vision of patients who have radial keratomy (RK) while preventing previously common side effects from the surgery.

In the study, 22 patients who had previously undergone RK and subsequently developed unanticipated changes in prescriptions for correcting vision underwent advanced surface ablation with miomycin C, an anti-scarring medication. Most patients experienced a significant improvement in corrected and uncorrected vision without any complications.
