Can Corneal Refractive Therapy be performed on someone who has had surgical Radial Keratotomy or Lasiks?
Yes, in most cases Corneal Refractive Therapy can help uncorrected refractive errors from RK and astigmatism caused by the surgery. Corneal Refractive Therapy is used to retard the progression of nearsightedness. Other refractive lenses cannot repair the corneal scarring or help the night vision problems associated with surgery. Is Corneal Refractive Therapy permanent? After treatment and maximum results are achieved, retainer lenses are worn to stabilize the new corneal shape. Failure to wear the retainer lenses on a regular basis will result in the return to the pre-existing prescription. Retainers may be prescribed during day or night.
