Keratotomy
Keratotomy refers to a group of surgical procedures that involve making incisions in the cornea, the transparent outer layer of the eye. These procedures are primarily performed to correct refractive errors, such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The incisions alter the curvature of the cornea, which in turn changes how light is focused onto the retina, thereby improving vision.
Different types of keratotomy exist, distinguished by the pattern and depth of the incisions. Radial keratotomy
Potential risks and side effects associated with keratotomy include infection, changes in intraocular pressure, glare, halos
