Can radial keratotomy vision deteriorate throughout life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: One of the long term problems with rk surgery is the lack of long term stability in some patients. Sometimes, their prescription keeps changing over time, usually making them become more far-sighted. There are some therapies available that may help. Consult a corneal specialist.
