“…In many eyes submitted to RK the procedure is associated with the astigmatic technique using transverse incisions, further accentuating corneal instability and irregular astigmatism (2) due to the coupling effect in which the cornea is flattened in the incision's meridian with compensatory bulging in the perpendicular meridian (5) . Corneal suture has been used as an alternative to correct undesirable flattening, either by simple interrupted sutures, simple circular suture, double circular suture, or a combination thereof, aiming to flatten the peripheral cornea and thus curve its central region.…”
