Radial keratotomy to treat myopicrefractive error after cataract surgery

Abstract: Radial keratotomy was a safe and efficient procedure to treat myopic refractive error in pseudophakic eyes. Separate nomograms are necessary for white and Asian populations.

“…Cataract surgery is a safe procedure with the best refractive outcomes through advances in intraocular lens (IOL) technology and phacoemulsification techniques. Although accurate biometry and IOL power calculation are possible, refractive surprise may occur postoperatively (1)(2)(3). Piggybacking a secondary IOL can be used to correct pseudophakic refractive errors.…”

“…Visual recovery who underwent cataract surgery is closely related to the use of appropriate IOL power calculation. [6][7][8] LRIs have been used to correct preexisting astigmatism during the time of cataract surgery. Simultaneously, one can benefit from low costs and easy performance with minimal learning curve, without overcorrection.…”

“…The most frequent postoperative problem is a residual refractive error, which may lead to suboptimal visual outcomes and patient's dissatisfactions since patients generally consider spectacle-free as an important issue. [ 3 4 21 22 23 24 ] Causes of residual refractive error include errors in biometry measurement and the use of inappropriate power calculation formulas, as well as IOL manufacturing inaccuracies, displacement of the IOL in the capsular bag, the excessive rotational divergence of a toric IOL, and other reasons. [ 3 6 7 25 26 27 28 ] For successful outcome with premium IOLs, accurate correction of even small spherical and cylindrical errors is necessary, especially for those with diffractive multifocal IOL implantation.…”
