Binocular vision complications after radial keratotomy.
Radial keratotomy (RK), a popular procedure for reducing myopia, does not always have a successful outcome. Of the adverse effects reported in the literature, there have been few reports of undesirable disturbances of binocular vision. Four representative cases are reviewed which presented clinically with varying binocular problems induced by RK. The treatment considerations and final solutions for each are discussed. In the presence of RK-induced anisometropia, aniseikonia can be a particularly debilitating binocular vision problem for some patients.
