Could you have lasik done if you have had radial keratotomy before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LASIK vs PRK: Most surgeons recommend against lasik in patients who have had radial keratotomy (rk). An alternative procedure - prk - which is laser on the surface of the cornea, is an option, and can achieve improvement in vision. Please discuss with your own doctor.
