Arcuate Transverse Keratotomy for Astigmatism Followed by Subsequent Radial or Transverse Keratotomy

Abstract

Arcuate transverse keratotomy reduced refractive astigmatism. Both overcorrection and undercorrection were common. Complications were infrequent but occasionally caused significant irregular astigmatism. Arcuate transverse keratotomy appears to be a safe procedure with few complications.
