COMPUTERIZED VIDEOKERATOSCOPES
                          WHAT DO THE MAPS TELL US?

Radial Keratotomy (RK)


The corneal shape of patients 
following radial keratotomy (RK) 
can be visualized and any changes 
in shape with time following the 
surgery can be quantified.  These 
corneas are flatter in the center 
and steeper in the periphery-the 
opposite of the cornea prior to 
the procedure.  The maps help if 
additional refractive procedures 
are required.
