What is Radial Keratotomy

Radial Keratotomy (RK) is a type of eye surgery that is used to correct nearsightedness (myopia).During RK, a surgeon uses a special blade to make several small, curved incisions in the cornea (the clear outer layer of the eye).

The incisions cause the cornea to flatten, which helps to refocus light so that it lands directly on the retina.RK is a permanent procedure and the patient will not need to have it repeated.

The surgery generally takes about 20 minutes per eye and the patient may experience vision improvement within the first two weeks after the procedure.While RK is generally successful, there are some potential risks and complications that include infection, swelling, and even vision loss.

It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with your doctor before having RK performed.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.

This is the best eye clinic ever. It's amazing how every staff is so caring. The faculty is simply top class and Dr. Aditya Raut is the best. His treatment is par excellence, but even more than more than that, he is a great human being.
