I had RK surgery - radial keratotomy, back in the 1980's where they used a knife instead of a laser for my nearsightedness. It worked great and I'm happy I did it. Now, 30 years later, cataracts had come up and when I went to Mid-Florida , I was told that I would be difficult because the *slices* may cause uneven healing, etc. I did NOT opt for the laser, given the price and prognosis, but I did have the surgery. The first eye came out 20/30 or so, underpowed lens by a little bit and the docs (Panzo, Pieshke) suggested it was the RK impact. They put in a slightly more powerful lens in the 2nd surgery and.. it's fabulous. I can read without glasses when on the road now, though I do use reading glasses for fine print and reading books/computer at home.
Send a message if you'd like to know more. Eyes are very tricky but overall I'm very happy. Best wishes.
