RESUMO
We present a patient who underwent bilateral radial keratotomy (RK) followed by a bilateral revisional RK for undercorrection. After the second procedure, the patient had a severely flattened left cornea, with marked hyperopia and irregular astigmatism. The right eye, however, remained myopic, causing extreme anisometropia. We hypothesize that the different results in these two eyes may have been due to a critical number of damaged left corneal stromal fibers. Patients undergoing revisional RK or requiring additional incisions may be at increased risk for such a complication.
