Radial keratotomy is a relatively new, widely advertised procedure that promises patients with myopia 20/20 vision without corrective lenses. However, radial keratotomy sometimes does not fulfill this promise. New studies have reported numerous cases in which patients were not helped or were actually harmed by radial keratotomy. Also, its long-term effects are unknown. Family physicians should advise patients to approach the procedure with caution.
放射状角膜切开术是一种相对较新、广告宣传广泛的手术，它向近视患者承诺无需矫正镜片就能拥有20/20的视力。然而，放射状角膜切开术有时无法兑现这一承诺。新的研究报告了大量病例，在这些病例中，患者接受放射状角膜切开术后并未得到改善，甚至实际上受到了伤害。此外，其长期影响尚不清楚。家庭医生应建议患者谨慎对待该手术。
