Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The multiple radial stromal deep corneal incisions placed in radial keratotomy (RK) lead to higher-order aberrations and pose a surgical challenge to performing any further corrective procedure on the cornea because of fear of inducing an incisional dehiscence. A method to perform pinhole pupilloplasty (PPP) in the setting of previous RK is presented. Application of pinhole optics by performing PPP leads to significant improvement in image quality and helps to optimize visual potential in post-RK cases.
