Acta Ophthalmol Scand. 1997 Apr;75(2):214-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0420.1997.tb00127.x.

Abstract

Radial keratotomy has recently been introduced for the correction of myopia. This procedure does not hinder progression of the pathophysiological changes in the myopic eye. We hereby describe a case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment operation after radial keratotomy and present the operative considerations and refractive results.
