  1. keratotomy

    Keratotomy is a surgical procedure that involves making incisions in the cornea, which is the clear front surface of the eye. This is done to reshape it or to alleviate certain eye conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism. The cornea's shape greatly affects the eye's focusing ability, hence changes to its form can greatly improve vision. Different types of keratotomy include radial keratotomy (RK) and astigmatic keratotomy (AK).
